The adorned trees in front windows, decorative neighborhood lights and bustling shopping malls all communicate the same message, the holidays are coming! The recently decreased traffic on the way to work suggests that many have already begun their holiday vacations and are travelling around the country to be with their loved ones during this wonderful time of year.
As 2016 draws to a close we must remember to be thankful for the good things in our life and for another year. Here at NAWRB we are especially thankful for our community and partners in the women’s diversity and inclusion movement. With your help we will continue working on behalf of women and women-owned and small businesses in the housing ecosystem.
