Jaime Nespor-Zawmon, president of SmartCEO “We

Clients also heap on the praise for Towne and Country
principals: “When I think of Lisa or Ginger, or T&C
as a whole, I immediately think: dependable, family/
community-oriented, reliable, straightforward, confident,
experienced and compassionate in their dealings with the
[residential community board of directors], community and
our vendors,” enthuses Joanne Bellucci-Celentano, a former
board member and resident of a community managed by
Towne and Country. “They are consistently ready, willing
and able to take on any task – no matter how small or
large/time consuming – and are always looking to go
above and beyond those they provide a service.
Wilkin & Guttenplan PC, one of the accounting firms
with which Towne and Country works, officially nominated
Vitiello and Pitaccio for the award, and Principal Carol
Koransky is pleased to congratulate them on their selection.
In addition to their “professionalism, their commitment to
their staff (as evidenced by their many long-term employees)
and their commitment to their clients,” says Koransky, “Lisa
and Ginger are caring and compassionate people that
always strive to do the right thing.”
SmartCEO will be publishing profiles of each winner in
