Person of the Year 2023 Finalists

Each year the Apartment Association recognizes someone as the “ Person of the Year .” Here is a brief look at the finalists for this award .
CARY BRUTEIG Apartment Insights
In the past year , when the researcher of AAMD ' s 40-year-old Vacancy and Rent report retired , Cary stepped up to take over authorship and research of the project . The result is a reimagined report with new data , new charts and graphs , and a streamlined process designed to make the report more accessible and timely . We appreciate Cary ' s willingness to continue to research and educate people about the Denver market , incuding giving presentations at industry events and participating in press conferences so an accurate portrayal of our industry is displayed in the media .
SARAH EDISON First Onsite
It is hard to believe Sarah has only been involved for two years . From day one she has been fully engaged in the Association , helping lead the Ambassadors to new heights . She worked to improve the AAMD orientation by allowing the Ambassodors to present and facilitate them .
Sarah serves on on many committees and is always open to help the Events department with their many marketing compaigns and community blitzes .
TAMERA GREENE Thompson Thrift Residential
Tamera continues to go above and beyond for AAMD . Serving this past year as Charity Auction Co-Chair and
Tributes Co-Chair , in addition to other committees she sits on , her hands stay full . Tamera has played a large role in the success of the last two Charity Auction events and our Tributes event is well on its ’ way to greatness under her leadership with her co-chair and committee . As our newest-elected member of the AAMD Executive Committee , we look forward to continuing to work with her in years to come .
BOBBY HUTCHISON
RedPeak
Bobby has lead perhaps our most important Council defending the Apartment industry through the Joint Legislative Advisory Council , during a year which has been the most difficult in our long history of protecting our members from unfavorable legislation . With nearly 20 bills directly targeting the industry . Bobby ’ s leadership , guidance and expertise have been invaluable to our Government Affairs and public relations . Bobby also serves on the AAMD Alliance , the CAA Board of Directors , and CAA Executive Committee further demonstrating his amazing leadership and support for Association governance .
