Let’s change the “waiting game” into your Future Development Plan. From offering innovative solutions to leading by example to promoting efficiency to defining the customer service experience, there are many ways to deepen your understanding of the property management business and flex your creative muscle. Join me for combo coaching session and your first steps toward your next promotion. I promise, you’ll leave with something unexpected.

 Sessions are only available to those who register for the full conference option.  Sessions are 55 minutes and each one counts as 1 continuing education credit towards National Apartment Association (NAA) designations.
