Meetings/Conferences/Events
The Georgia Affordable Housing Coalition normally holds two major meeting events annually. A Members Only Annual meeting, and a much larger Affordable Housing Conference and Trade Show that is open to members and non-members, occurs every Fall. Covid necessitated changes in 2020 and 2021. Members Only Annual Meeting The meeting provides a day long forum of updates, panels and networking for members of the Coalition. Attendance is free and open to all members of the Coalition, but membership dues must be current to register. If you have questions about your membership status, contact Maureen Mercer at mmercer@gahcoalition.org.
