In MemoriAm

Carol Levey ( 1946-2022 ) was one of the most uniquely powerful and warm hearted individuals I ’ ve ever known . She was a force for education in the apartment industry and touched tens of thousands of industry professionals during her 50 + year career . Carol ’ s impact on our local apartment association was ever lasting with so , so many seminars , designation programs , and special presentations she made over four decades ! She was always there when we needed her , and always volunteered her services for AAMD .

Carol elevated AAMD and NAA to develop career programs for both organizations . She was instrumental in introducing our industry to the Virginia Tech Real Estate / Property Management Program - a first for the industry . She was also involved in NAA ' s Education and Government Affairs departments and was a frequent speaker at NAA events for decades .
Carol was among the first group of leaders inducted into the AAMD Hall of Fame in 2016 – having been involved in nearly every area of the Association as an on-site manager and Supplier Partner . She authored “ Miss Management ” in Apartment Trends and taught education seminars for over 40 years . Her distinctive style was funny , captivating , honest and always keenly to the root of the issue making her message unforgettable .
Carol ’ s warmth and generosity was deep and sincere , she was built around lifting people up . Anytime I was with her , she always had a compliment for me or one of our AAMD staff . She was one of kind and will always live in our memory .
A Celebration of Carol ' s Life is being planned for this Fall . In lieu of flowers , her family has requested that donations be made to St . Jude as Carol supported the foundation wholeheartedly .
