NAHB Shuts Down for 1 Week to Save Money
How bad are things in homebuilding these days? So bad that the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) shut its doors for the week of August 24-28, 2009.
All personnel are on unpaid leave. When I tried to reach my contact at the association, his automated email response said, in essence, don't bother trying to reach him or anyone else this week.
NAHB president Jerry Howard informed his board of directors of the plans back in May. The NAHB's statement:

NAHB president Jerry Howard informed his board of directors of the plans back in May. The NAHB's statement:
As a cost savings effort, the National Association of Home Builders will be closed for business for eight days in 2009. NAHB President Jerry Howard reported to the NAHB Board of Directors in May that, "this shut down plan, along with other cost-cutting measures that have already been adopted, is being implemented to help the Association save millions of dollars."
Under the plan, NAHB will shut down its operations for the final week of August (August 24 through 28) and the three days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday (November 23, 24 and 25). During this shut down, NAHB staff will not be available. Messages received during the closure will be answered when when they return to the office.
