I began my career in property management working
for a local owner of apartment complexes. Since that
time, I have owned a regional management company
that specialized in managing community associations and
have worked with other companies in various executive
capacities such us managing offices, regions and business
development. I have been a member of CAI since 1985,
serving on various committees over the years and received
the Recruiter of the Year award in 2013. I received my
CMCA in 1988 and PCAM designation in 1990. I am
the 2016 President of Community Associations Institute of
New Jersey Chapter. Additionally, I earned the Certified
Property Manager (CPM) designation from the Institute of
Real Estate Management in 1994 and served as 2012
and 2013 President of New Jersey Chapter # 1. I currently
serve as a Trustee of the Families in Crisis Foundation.
Is there a specific program that you would like
to highlight?
Healthy Communities. What is a healthy community? Is
your community healthy? Our Healthy Community pro-
gram is devoted to achieving well managed, financially
secure communities. Sharing professional knowledge and
providing guidance to our board members as well as
communicating with the members of our communities helps
ensure a healthy community. Analyzing the current status of
a community, how it could be made better with efficient
management, technology implementation, community-wide
improvements, and fiscal recommendations are just a few
of the many facets of a healthy community. We even pro-
vide a complimentary check-up to help ensure that your
community is a healthy community.
What might someone be surprised to learn
about your company?
Association Advisors New Jersey clients are surprised
to learn how diverse our experience is as well as how
hands-on and accessible our managers really are. In an
after-hours emergency, our emergency number is always
answered by a person and managers are notified immedi-
ately so they can address the emergency in real time.
Another company function that clients are often surprised
at is our “Team” management approach to meet the phys-
ical, fiscal and operational needs of each community.
Attentive and diversified support is given to each client at
all times with
specialized
support in service, technical and
advanced management needs.
Our managers share their experience, knowledge and
resources with one another. Assisting one another with excep-
tional “out-of-the-ordinary” problems helps make our managers
more efficient; resulting in smoother running communities.
Our maintenance, accounting and help departments are
just some of the assets our communities share, allowing man-
agers to efficiently “take care of the community” while the other
departments directly address the concerns of the client.
What trends do you see for the Community
Association Institute?
We see a few areas in the future that will be important for
our industry. First, the need to continue to aggressively mon-
itor all proposed legislative action as this will have a direct
impact on the management of all of our association clients.
Secondly, continue efforts to encourage and support some
type of Community Manager registration or licensing which
will include a minimal continuing education component as
well as a sanctioning actions for those Community Managers
that do not adhere to the approved guidelines. Finally, contin-
ued education of volunteer Board Members so that they can
effectively and professionally perform their responsibilities for
the benefit of their communities.
