The international committee is NAHRO's research and development arm. In this role it associates with many other organizations, including INTA, The International Urban Development Association, located in The Hague, Netherlands. INTA provides direct assessment of major urban and regional development issues through case study analysis, technical on-site visits and presentations across the globe. Part of the INTA Peer-to-Peer services provides INTA members with vision and practical proposals on complex urban development issues. Professionals who participate in such panels learn as well as share. This was the case when INTA and the Polish Ministry for Infrastructure invited a NAHRO International member who was familiar with high-rise buildings and the citizens' role in local development proposals to join an INTA panel in the City of Gdansk, Poland. Although there were other qualified Committee members, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to represent NAHRO and the U.S. on the team going to Poland.
