We are pleased to announce that UMH's CEO will join us in the next in our popular, periodic series: A Cup of Coffee with…Sam Landy coming up in our April issue. It is incredible to see the manufactured housing world through the eyes of Sam Landy, or through the lens of other leaders in our Industry. Sam Landy's leadership shows. At UMH – a performing company we track in our Daily Business News market report – Landy leads a profitable firm that is:
-
rewarding share holders,
-
routinely acquiring new locations

and doing an ever better job with their existing communities.
Manufactured home communities have always been an important part of our Industry's world. For those in the MH Communities sector, Landy's thoughts will prove interesting. For those outside of the MHCs space, you too will find this upcoming interview insightful reading.

Feeding the Bottom Line
We've shared the Knowledge is Power maxim along with the Readers are Leaders saying. But knowledge is only powerful when it is applied. You might know exactly where there is gold or oil, but until you do what is necessary to get those minerals out and usable, the knowledge alone is 
insufficient. Your associates may know how to read, but until they do more of it, that knowledge is self-limited.
You may know that business building seminars once found at other events, are now available this year at the Tunica Manufactured Housing Show. You might know that pre-registrations for the Tunica Show are rising to levels that could bring 2200 total industry professionals together to network, do business, learn at those free business-building seminars and thereby feed their respective bottom lines.
MHCommunities, MHRetailers, and Builder/Developers are among those coming to Tunica, along with the rest of the constellation of our industry's pros.
But until you actually sign up and go, knowledge of the event alone is incomplete. See this article by Show Chairman, Keith Bennett, which features the latest show brochure. You can also find the link to pre-register online too. I'll be there, I hope to see you there too.
The Rising Tide
New MH Shipments are rising! Housing starts are up too. Many factors are Looking up.
So there are many reasons why pros and leaders such as UMH CEO Sam Landy are buying properties, investing in inventory and are putting their talented team to work, advancing. Leaders know our Industry is well poised for growth.
Feed your bottom line too, by tapping into the knowledge that good industry reading and events provide. ##
