He participated in some of the introductions, and in the awards ceremony. He was busy going in and out of the concurrent sessions, to catch a sense of what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>Sources tell MHProNews that Jennison has had three quiet meetings with leaders from the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR). These meeting\/conversations with MHARR were of varying lengths. The early reports are warm ones.<\/p>\n<p>Jennison has been described as an attentive, intelligent, affable gent who is a good listener. Listening doesn&#39;t mean he is not speaking out, he did publicly respond &#8211; for example &#8211; with the <a href=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/well-done-dick-jennison\/\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today in a letter to them about a tornado story<\/a> they did.<\/p>\n<p>Other feedback and insights that have come in would lead one to say that 60 days into his new role, he is drawing words of quiet praise.<\/p>\n<p>Once Dick starts to take more public positions on ticklish Industry topics, that is when the revelations and insights into MHI&#39;s new CEO will become more clear. But until then, the early signs are good ones. He certainly needs and deserves our encouragement and support. ##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Post by<br \/>\n\t\tL.
