"Being part of the NTBA has been a game-changer for me and our development company that focuses on Town Building in Middle TN and North AL. It has opened doors to learning, growth, and inspiration that sparks our creativity. NTBA has afforded me the opportunity to see first hand how passionate town builders, land planners, and architects are transforming communities across the country, and beyond, into places where people truly thrive. NTBA isn’t just about rethinking development — it’s about shaping a lasting, sustainable future for generations to come. From the semi-annual roundtables and scholarship program to the podcast, international trips, and beyond, every initiative fuels creativity, connection, and impact."

"Developing in downtowns and mixed use neighborhoods is complex and subtle, leading to interesting questions. Over the last 20 years of development, I have continuously been reminded that I don’t always know the answers, but through the NTBA I've always known who to call to help me find them."
