Students of FHBA’s Building University for Individual Leadership Development (BUILD) experienced live, interactive spokesperson training and are ready to take on the media. During the FHBA Fall Leadership Conference, BUILD participants spent four hours training on how to execute a successful interview on television, radio, or newspaper. During this session, they learned how to face various scenarios such as how to avoid being pulled into an impromptu Q&A by a reporter or how to manage such an interview. BUILD was founded by FHBA to educate and empower future leaders to make a positive difference for our association and industry. Participants who graduate from BUILD will have received focused curriculum on spokesperson training, development of leadership skills, and legislative and regulatory issues that impact housing and construction.
