GAYLE GAHAGAN
One of my all time favorite members of the AAMD Staff, Gayle went on to work in the industry and then circle back as a great volunteer chairing Tributes in 2011. Her zest to make the AAMD experience special and memorable made her a great volunteer and Director of Education.

Geoff is another person in the Mark Windhager tree of leadership. Geoff combines good financial instincts with excellent customer service skills. He sets high expectations for himself and makes others around him raise their own bar.

GORDON VON STROH ^
Gordon created the gold standard for our Vacancy & Rent Report. Dr Von Stroh taught me about having a strong ethical framework and to treat everyone with respect regardless of title or task. That humility in Gordon made people trust him instantly. I always loved his jokes and kidding around. I deeply miss Dr Von Stroh.

Greg has been leading the national effort to defend and protect our industry for over 15 years. He has taught me lessons around grass roots advocacy, navigating regulatory environments, and to have a strong voice for the membership.
< GREG GULLEY
A true AAMD classic. Greg has taught us all so much … including the value of members working together and just how to be a great human. He lived the mantra that " members use members " and always promoted the value of working together within AAMD.
