A warm hello to our members and extended readers! It has been a long and treacherous winter so far and Managers and Associates have been working diligently dealing with all the trials and tribulations that the winter has sprung upon us! Kudos to all of our members for surviving the turbulence at this challenging time.

I am especially proud of the value ACMO brings to its members and the condominium community in general. In 2013, it was ACMO’s vision to have a licensed Manager in every condominium across the Province. And now, licensing is a reality. It’s time to take a step back and have a serious look at what ACMO can deliver that will provide the most meaningful and greatest value to our members moving forward. More details will follow and be reported at our upcoming Annual General Meeting on April 26, 2019. Please make sure to mark your calendars for this annual event.

As a Registered Condominium Manager and General Licensee, I am most proud of the value professional Managers and management companies bring to condominium corporations and the entire industry. Unfortunately, for many years being a Condominium Manager was not truly recognized in the industry in general as a professional career.

However, the industry has evolved and public awareness has certainly enticed current board members, future candidates, residents and community appetites to research further the management and operations of their homes. One thing for sure is that change is inevitable, and we are living in a constantly changing world and we have to move forward with it. Securing a professional Condominium Manager and management firm are the two key essentials that will deliver an enjoyable, positive and successful condominium living experience. Condominium living has expanded to different dynamics. Now, with the increase of family home real estate generally out of reach for most first-time buyers, condominiums are becoming more popular with all age groups. A healthy extended partnership between management, boards and residents is the key recipe for a successful community.

Having a licensed condominium manager and management firm, as well as associate members of ACMO acting on behalf of your corporation is the first step toward enjoying a home that is financially secure and a wise investment both now and in the future.

In closing once again I thank all of you for your kind support and commitment to ACMO and look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event.

“A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can’t move forward until you change it”

Let’s all spring forward!
