Friendships old and new…
January 6, 2012 by
Happy New Year to all!
We sincerely hope everyone’s New Year is filled with peace, prosperity and rewarding friendships. This is the perfect time to re-connect and create new connections-especially with your professional Association. Our Government Affairs program needs you to spread the word!
In December AAGP members stepped up to fight Philadelphia’s Lead Paint Disclosure Bill and won vital concessions from City Council. We partnered with other real estate groups and made a powerful impression. The amendments we secured will benefit every rental owner in the City. It is one of the best examples of what can happen when professionals work together through their trade association.
In your travels you probably meet fellow rental owners who are not yet a part of AAGP. Let’s make sure they learn about the extraordinary work you have done on their behalf- the concessions we won in Philadelphia will save everyone thousands of dollars.
Let them know there is more to be done, not only in Philadelphia but throughout the region and Commonwealth.
We know lawmakers prefer hearing from the best and brightest in a given field, and will listen to those who think enough about their industry to be a part of their professional association. We keep our members abreast of legislative activity that will affect them, and call upon their expertise to help shape our lobbying policies and strategies. We are known in Pennsylvania as the strong collective voice of the apartment industry, where responsible rental owners who actually know what it takes to professionally manage properties and keep them afloat join forces.
In the coming year we will surely face challenges from legislators throughout the Commonwealth. We are looking forward to working together as the strongest voice in our multifamily industry -with friendships old and new.

Missed CAM Kickoff? We’re starting again in January!
October 17, 2011 by
For the past several years AAGP has been experimenting with offering the 9-class CAM designation program for property managers in a semester style, beginning in the Fall and ending in the Spring. That way, our students who were very ambitious could actually finish the required project in time to appear on stage at our Fall banquet.
While this schedule has worked well for many students, others have requested that we go back to offering the entire class program within the same calendar year. So this year AAGP is providing BOTH options!
If you were unable to start CAM at AAGP last week, you can start classes in January, 2012 and finish in June, 2012. If you work on your project througout the spring and then finish it up in the summer, there’s still a chance that you’ll be able to appear on stage at the AAGP banquet in the Fall of 2012.
So don’t wait another year – budget for CAM in 2012 and get started in January. The schedule is up on the AAGP site right now.
And The Winner Is…..
