◆ WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT THE MULTIFAMILY INDUSTRY ?

Our industry has historically been slow to adopt new technology . As a member of the Innovation Committee at Bell Partners , I see how our investments in innovative , customer-focused technologies can improve the customer experience and elevate operating performance . I believe the pandemic is pushing other management companies to boost their investment in technology .
