The Fall Leadership Forum offers a strate- gic look at executive issues facing the business of manufactured home communities. In addition to traditional industry topics, this event will also feature timely content on the impact of the U.S. presidential election, and the nation's economy. Session offerings will include a moderated panel discussion titled "State of the Market: Community Financing Trends in 2016 & Be- yond" which will examine trends in community financing, acquisitions, and deals in the mar- ket. Another session will explore the notion of "big data" within manufactured home portfolios while "The Worst Deal I Ever Did" session will be a moderated discussion of best practices that were learned when things didn't go as planned.

Neil has twice been named "Pollster of the Year" by the American Association of Political Consultants and was lead pollster for Gov. Mitt Romney's 2012 Presidential campaign. Nationally acclaimed economist Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D., will pro- vide his commentary on the overall U.S. econ- omy and housing trends.
