Event Details

Attendance is complimentary, but space is limited to 50 participants to ensure meaningful engagement with legislators. Please let us know if you can definitively attend or if you're interested but need to confirm your availability. *Please note: Materials and Talking Points will be provided to all participants*

Your voice can help shape Maryland's housing future. Join fellow industry professionals for a critical advocacy day with state legislators as we work together to address the housing challenges facing our communities.

Why Your Participation Matters Maryland faces a significant housing shortage that affects families, workers, and businesses across the state. Rising costs, lengthy permitting processes, and regulatory barriers are making it harder to build the homes our communities desperately need. Legislators need to hear directly from industry experts like you about real-world solutions that can increase housing supply and affordability.

What We'll Accomplish Together

  • Share firsthand insights about challenges facing home builders and developers
  • Present practical policy solutions that can streamline the building process
  • Advocate for reforms that support workforce housing and first-time homebuyers
  • Build relationships with key decision-makers who shape housing policy
  • Demonstrate the economic impact of a thriving construction industry

Your Expertise Is Essential As someone working in the housing industry, you understand the complexities that lawmakers may not see. Your experience with zoning issues, permitting delays, material costs, and workforce challenges provides invaluable perspective that can inform better policy decisions.

Make Your Mark This is your opportunity to move beyond talking about problems to actively working on solutions. Together, we can help create a regulatory environment that supports responsible development while meeting Maryland's housing needs.

The housing crisis won't solve itself – but with your voice added to ours, we can advocate for the changes Maryland needs.
