Speaking Engagements
The PHRC offers a speaker service which provides short technical presentations to companies, organizations, or associations related to the residential construction industry. Most of our presentations offered under this service are for local, regional, or state groups or associations. These 30-to-60-minute programs are ideal for lunch-and-learns, dinner meetings, or other gatherings of your members.
These speaking engagements are also available for virtual delivery. Our team can create a private online meeting space where your team, audience, or members can log in to participate in a session delivered by a member of the PHRC staff.
