WHY JOIN?

Mid-Atlantic AHMA membership is company based; all individuals of an organization will receive member benefits—including site staff and corporate/headquarters staff. Our members have a year-round full and comprehensive slate of training opportunities available at a discounted/member price which is well below industry standards. Much of our training is offered in partnership with AJ Johnson Consulting Services, a preeminent provider of training on all topics related to affordable housing.  In addition to our many training opportunities and the quality of the instruction provided, these events also present our members with significant networking opportunities with colleagues. Visiting instructors regularly indicate that our members are amongst the most engaged and informed they’ve encountered! Furthermore, the relationships we’ve forged as an association with regulatory entities allows us to easily facilitate communication, to share your concerns and to advocate on your behalf.
