IMPORTANT: MHI does NOT use any housing companies to coordinate reservations for the NCC Fall Leadership Forum attendees. All reservations must be made directly with the Westin. Please be careful if you are called/emailed by any company or service implying or claiming to be an official housing provider for MHI. We’ve been made aware of companies emailing and calling attendees and offering them rates our events. Often this is misleading or fraudulent information. If you are contacted by a housing company trying to sell you hotel rooms, please contact MHI at events@mfghome.org.
