I’m writing to ask for approval to attend MBA’s Accounting and Financial Management Conference, held December 11-13 in Phoenix, AZ. This is the only conference specifically focused on accounting and financial management topics for both residential and commercial/multifamily professionals in the industry. Here is a link to the conference website: mba.org/AFM

The agenda covers a broad set of important and timely topics such as a current economic and mortgage market outlook, FASB update, and sessions to help navigate the latest accounting and regulatory changes. In addition to the programming content, the exhibit area features vendor solutions and networking opportunities with leaders from across the industry. Both are great avenues to learn more about trends and best practices.

In particular, I’d like to focus on finding takeaways that could help solve these business challenges:
