Purpose

NMA's HCV Executive Management course is the only one available that incorporates the nation’s premier customer-focused federal change agent, the Baldrige Program. Baldrige developed the framework for performance excellence and manages the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Program. We incorporated the Baldrige approach with the principles of practical housing choice voucher (HCV) program implementation to create a class that's ideal for commissioners, executive directors, HCV managers, and HCV supervisory staff.

Executive management training is an important investment in your leaders. In an era of budget cuts, the people who execute organizational strategies at housing authorities are uniquely positioned to help their agency be successful. Unfortunately, training for this group of individuals is often overlooked because business executives are busy trying to balance numerous priorities.

However, organizations simply cannot afford to put the training of their executives on the back burner. Well-trained executives enhance productivity, produce solid alignment between HCV functions, retain talented employees, and increase morale in the organization. The benefits of executive management training are measurable, and touch every aspect of the organization, including the bottom line.

This completely redesigned course examines the knowledge, skills, and abilities that leaders need to spark motivation, accomplish objectives, and demonstrate effective leadership. Participants gain a sense of confidence and a practical working knowledge that creates the alignment needed to achieve extraordinary results. This course will enable executive staff to become more productive by enforcing the skills needed to delegate tasks, make assertive decisions, and communicate clear expectations. Attendees will return to their agencies with spreadsheet tools that can be adapted immediately.

Because NMA's expertise in the subsidized housing industry spans almost fifty years, our executive management sessions are tailored to the unique culture, vision, mission and goals of housing authorities. Bring commissioners, the executive director, the HCV manager,and HCV supervisors to learn together so that new principles can be incorporated into the entire agency’s operation of the HCV program. Don’t miss this opportunity for positive change!
