AANC President's Letter | September 2025
Dear AANC Members,
As we begin to have occasional cool mornings and the light begins to dim earlier each day, there is a bit of excitement to know that fall is coming. Sure, there will probably be a first “false fall”, and we’ll endure more of the heat and humidity that we’re all accustomed to, but rest assured, cooler weather is on the way. And with that bit of excitement around seasonal change, I find I’m also excited about what’s to come this fall within the multifamily industry in North Carolina.
AANC is offering two more webinars in 2025: Unite & Ignite: Building High-Performing Teams with Emotional Intelligence & DEI on September 11th and Calm the Storm: De-Escalation Strategies for Multifamily Professionals on November 6th. Don’t miss these opportunities to earn a CEC at a low rate for members, just $29.99! Find out more and register on the AANC website.
I’d also like to take a moment to share a few fun and exciting events offered by our affiliates around the state. These include:
- PTAA Field Day 2025 on September 13th. This sounds like a great way to network and have fun at the same time, with events such as a three-legged race and a tug of war
- WAA 2025 Trade Show “Under the Big Top” on September 16th. Costumes encouraged but not required.
- GFAA 2025 Tradeshow: Lights. Cameras. Building Connections. on September 25th. With the theme of movies this year, attendees are encouraged (not required) to dress up as their favorite character, director, etc.
- AAWNC Tailgate Talk: Property Playbook Exchange on September 25th. Wear your favorite jersey and join them for a networking event styled as a Thursday Night Football pregame with an operations twist.
- GCAA New Construction Bus Tour on September 26th. The tour is construction, new construction. You only live twice, so don't wait...lay a goldfinger on these tickets!
- TAA Golf Tournament on October 3rd at the Neuse Country Club in Clayton. It’s already sold out!
I’m so grateful to be part of an industry full of such dedicated and hardworking individuals who provide stellar educational opportunities and know how to have fun while moving our industry forward.
With a grateful heart,
Karen Perkins
