  • August 15, 2024 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

Presenter: Angela Cisneros 

 

The requirements set forth in the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 regulations are enormously complex and far-reaching. NAHMA’s Fair Housing Compliance (FHC) course trains managers to understand these complex regulations, and provides clear instructions on fair housing laws. The comprehensive, practical training manual for this course includes ready-to-use documents and forms to conduct a Section 504 Self-Evaluation and sample Transition Plan.

The course teaches a step-by-step approach to determining the administrative and financial feasibility of making units accessible. Not only does NAHMA’s Fair Housing course cover the application process, which includes screening, accepting, and rejecting applicants, it also presents instruction on developing company-wide policies and procedures. The Fair Housing Compliance is a required course for NAHMA’s NAHP certification program. All participants who successfully complete the course will receive a FHC certificate and lapel pin.

Executive Series 3, Session 3: Offboarding with Care; Conducting Legal & Ethical Employee Terminations

  • September 18, 2024 8:00 am - 9:30 am

Presenter: Diane Dee

If an employer has exhausted all the necessary steps to help the employee improve his or her work performance – and those steps are not working – it may be time to terminate the employee.

Terminating an employee is not only stressful for the employee losing a job, but also for the employer. There are legal, ethical steps to take when you terminate an employee. The company must ensure its actions are above reproach. How the company terminates an employee sends a powerful message not only to the terminated employee, but also to remaining staff, either positive or negative.
