A MESSAGE FROM THE AANC PRESIDENT: MAR 2022

I hope everyone’s year is off to a great start! Between the incredible positives we’ve experienced as an industry (rising rents, increased occupancies, record valuations) and the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic (Omicron, supply chain disruptions, inflation), the last several months have been a bit of a roller coaster ride. As we work our way into the new year, though, it’s starting to feel like the world may be settling into its “new norm.” And while we all know that global circumstances can change at any time, there seems to be a general, underlying optimism amongst those in our business. Personally, I am encouraged about the direction of our Association, and look forward to seeing what we are able to accomplish this year.
 

On that note, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce the newest members of the AANC Board of Directors:
 
Michelle O'Brien | RKW Residential | GCAA Representative
Deidre Wilson | Blue Ridge Companies | GCAA Representative
Bethany Lykins | BSC Holdings | AAWNC Representative
Karen Spaid | Cushman Wakefield | WAA Representative
Betsy Kirkpatrick | BG Multifamily | State Suppliers’ Council
 
I’d also like to welcome the new committee leaders whose work in their respective committees will be essential in helping us achieve our objectives as an organization. 
 
Membership Committee: Elizabeth Riley | The Liberty Group
DE&I Committee: Rebecca Rosario | Full House Marketing
State Suppliers Council: Leah Vinansky | Powerhouse
 
If you do not currently serve on one of the AANC committees I’d encourage you to sign up, as that is where the most impact can be had in our efforts to accomplish the association’s goals.
 
Lastly, if you haven’t already done so, please register for the 2022 AANC Education & Legislative Conference which will be held May 16-18 at the Raleigh Convention Center.  This is our first major live event since 2019, and we are so excited about being able to come together to see everyone in person.
