A Letter from your President

Dear Fellow Property Management Team Members:

Due to all the unforeseen circumstances that we are all doing our best to get through, we had to postpone the March Dinner meeting along with our Maintenance Appreciation Event that was scheduled for April 28 th . We miss all your faces and would love for you to flood our Facebook page with pictures and any fun ideas that are getting you and your property through these tough times.

As we are all striving forward GCAA does have something that every member can participate in! This year is GCAA’s 35th Anniversary and at our Awards Night this December with the help of YOU would like to have a massive circulating slide show for our 35 years!

Honoring our Amazing Association, Properties, Past and New Members throughout 35 years! We want ANY photos pertaining to our industry no matter Old or New. Be on the Lookout for Contest Details coming soon! You may begin sending what pictures you have or find TODAY! Please email ANY and ALL photos to our Past President, Emily Finley at EFinley00@gmail.com

We will get through these tough times. Please remember that we are all in this together and do not hesitate to contact a fellow property management member if you need help or share any ideas that could help one another through this.

Please continue contacting us with how we can continue to make our association better for each of our members and need more suggestions for educational courses/topics that you would like to have.

We love and appreciate all of the feedback we have received so far, Thank you! Please do not hesitate to reach out to any member of the board with your ideas.

Sincerely,

Amy Gunter ,
