SERC-NAHRO's Committees are the heart of our organization. SERC's committees manage the SERC's operations including legislative outreach, member services, education and training, and more. In addition to the weekend’s meetings, committee members were able to come together for a welcome reception hosted by President Wong and a delicious dinner at Charley’s Steakhouse to celebrate all that was accomplished in preparation for the annual conference.

To welcome first-time attendees to the conference, SERC-NAHRO hosted a First-Time Attendees Reception. Attendees were then given time to meet and greet with each other as well as the SERC and NAHRO Leadership in attendance before moving downstairs for the opening session.

To open the annual conference, SERC-NAHRO held our opening session. As is tradition, the session was opened with the parade of flags where representatives from each member state processed in with their state’s flag. This year, the SERC-NAHRO Awards, Resolutions, Commissioners, and Public Affairs Committees presented their awards during the opening session.

The Legislative Luncheon provides the opportunity for attendees to stay up to date on what is happening in Washington. The luncheon provided an excellent opportunity for SERC to come together to discuss affordable housing within our region, and the country at large.

To close our conference, the scholarship committee hosted the scholarship dinner. The event included recognizing the What Home Means to Me Poster Contest winner, a silent auction to auction off compiled baskets from each member state, and a 50/50 drawing.

A continuation of the Tropical Opening Session, the Emerging Leaders Welcome Party provided an excellent venue for conference attendees to meet and make connections.

In order to support the SERC-NAHRO and MARC Scholarship funds conference attendees were given the opportunity to “Pie a President”. SERC nation raised the most money for our scholarship fund, so President Anthony Goodson was pied at the conclusion of the exhibitor reception.

Join us in congratulating our agency’s youth for their participation in the What Home Means to Me Poster Contest. Young artists from across the SERC Region had their artwork selected from state competitions to be displayed and judged at the SERC Annual Conference.

At the conclusion of this year’s conference, attendees dressed in their best for the Black Tie Gala. In addition to the presentation of awards, attendees were able to dance the night away, play casino games, and get their caricature drawn. The perfect end to a fantastic conference.
