In this episode of the President’s Podcast, host Megan Billnoske (Past-President of NSA Houston) sits down with Amanda Sherbondy, the Chief Operating Officer of the Houston Apartment Association (HAA).
If you are a professional speaker, trainer, or consultant looking to break into the multi-family industry—or if you’re simply curious about the massive scale of the Houston housing market—this conversation is for you.
With nearly 750,000 apartment homes in the Greater Houston area, the HAA represents a massive ecosystem of owners, developers, and supplier partners constantly seeking education and professional development.

A City Within a City: The sheer scale of the Houston Apartment Association and its role in advocacy, education, and networking.
Opportunities for Speakers: How NSA Houston members (speakers, coaches, and trainers) can collaborate with HAA’s Education Advisory Committee.
The Skills in Demand: From AI and mental health to “soft skills” and public speaking for supplier partners, learn what topics are currently “hot” in the industry.
