You know that to feel equipped and ready to go, you should have been working months prior to now to get to where you find yourself ready to meet the challenges life throws your way. With that said, if you’ve been disorganized, procrastinated or haven’t been involved with the community or a real estate group, you’re not alone. However, to stand out, you need to be honest with yourself, identify the issue, change the habit to move forward to reap different results. If you’re ready, let’s start today

One of the greatest things about the real estate business is that reinvention is always welcome. If you don’t like something today, change it. Let’s get out there and make 2025 the year of your reinvention and see where this journey takes you.  NARPM knows exactly how that works in that every year, leadership gets appointed, takes an oath and moves into their new position which entails being responsible for helping keep the chapter together and introducing members to the latest techniques and systems for conducting business. This is accomplished through use of in person speakers, educational classes, socials, and community service events, to name a few. This responsibility is not to be taken lightly, as the chapter is both locally and nationally recognized.  SAMAC has exceptional leadership with a national backbone to help lead the way for Professional Property Managers out there participating in important things such as serving on your local SABOR board or on some of the numerous committees or in other roles time and time again.

This year SAMAC’s Christmas Party and Officers Installation took place on December 6 at Ivy Hall in the King Williams district. It was a chilly clear night, with outdoor reception surrounded by warm cozy lighting, multiple ambient sitting areas filled with firepits and heaters throughout keeping us warm on the dance floor with a perfect backdrop of the Tower of Americas. The food and the company was awesome and the total scene was uplifting. It’s always perfect spending time with our peers and friends outside of work celebrating the new officers and the exiting of the current leaders being recognized for their efforts and accomplishments. 

Allow me to introduce the SAMAC 2025 Board of Directors: Lacy Hendricks, RMP®, President; Nicholas Brumgard, President Elect; Teresa Brown, Vice President; Jessice Masters, Secretary and Jessice Case, RMP®, Treasurer.  

This year’s President’s Charity of Choice is the March of Dimes and the Theme is “Live Long and Prosper”.  Congratulations to all and here’s to a new and exciting year!
