Does this sound like your company?
AAGP held its wildly successful annual picnic in July. As usual, hundreds of enthusiastic AAGP members came out to play, despite the record-breaking heat. One of this year's highlights was that hundreds of attendees – both on the property management side and the vendor side – proudly wore matching corporate T-shirts. In fact, some attendees embellished their shirts to match their personal style (hooray for scissors, glitter and fabric paint!). Your team members proudly wearing their corporate shirts, and even decorating them, speaks volumes about unity and morale.
Does this sound like your company? Or do you think you could use a little boost to help foster this kind of unity among your team? Next week AAGP has Bill Nye coming to Philadelphia to present Building a Healthy Organization. Bill thinks that to be healthy means that your customers and your employees rave about you and enjoy the relationship they have with the company. Come to class next week (Thursday, August 11 at 9 am) to get that boost you’re looking for. This session is designed specifically for regional property managers, owners and executives. Bill may even provide instructions for embellishing your company T-shirts…

Is Your Organization Healthy?
There is nothing more important in business than being healthy, yet so few organizations have a plan in place to ensure their ongoing good health. To be healthy means that your customers and your employees rave about you and enjoy the relationship they have with your company. Do your customers rave about you? If not, why not?
Next month, AAGP will host a training session for property owners, executives and regional managers to provide insight into this issue. Bill Nye, a national apartment industry speaker and former regional property manager, property manager and maintenance director, will share critical tips on how to build cohesion, clarity and better communication within your organization.
To all of you execs and regionals out there – give yourself a treat and get into class on August 11th. In addition to picking up great tips from Bill, you will leave refreshed and energized after having a couple of hours with your industry peers. And, as usual, AAGP will provide decent coffee and surprisingly good muffins. Grab the flyer or register online at www.aagp.com. Hope to see you there.

What did I miss?
Hi everyone and welcome to AAGP’s new education blog. This is our forum for sharing ideas, links, insight, trends and anything related to education for the apartment industry.
I didn’t make it to the NAA show last week, but I know many AAGP members were out in Vegas. If you attended any training sessions, please share your thoughts on the topics and instructors which made an impression. AAGP adds educational programming throughout the year, and we often rely on recommendations from members when selecting speakers. Back in March we enjoyed Leadership Training with Doug Chasick, and we have Bill Nye and Sue Weston coming this summer and Fall. We’ll be finishing the year with the Apartment All Stars on November 9th.
We are also lucky to have many local professionals and AAGP members who are willing to share their expertise in training sessions, and I’m currently building a local trainer roster. So if you or one of your colleagues is qualified and would like to train your peers, let me know.
