FROM THE PRESIDENT MIKE HOLT | LEGACY PARTNERS Joining a Committee is the Best Way to Get Involved at AAMD O ne of my biggest initiatives as AAMD is president is to see more people get off the sidelines and get involved in the Association. It's not always in someone's comfort zone to do this - it wasn't for me when I did - but there are so many benefits both personally and professionally in getting involved with AAMD. Last month, the Apartment Association ran a fantastic hour long event on Valentine's Day, designed for people to get involved with AAMD. We hosted about 50 members (suppliers and owners) for networking and a short presentation by the staff. Thanks to everyone for coming out, getting to know each other, and volunteering your time to help AAMD continue to grow. Volunteers are a major part of any organization like AAMD, and we can't say enough about the contributions that they bring to AAMD. Benefits of joining a committee include: • Assist in planning events or coordinating AAMD efforts! • Meet and network with new people • Help the Association succeed in different areas • Make the most of your membership investment!
