Maintenance Professional Award Winner Quote | Company
So many of us in the property management industry are so busy working and doing what we love that we don't think anything of the extras we do, the visions that we have implemented or even the EPIC in our actions. Our passion for serving people and the "never a dull moment" nature of the business drives us, motivates us and fulfills us daily.
Winning the 2023 Visionary Award was literally the highlight of my 20 plus year career in property management. Someone recognized my contribution to our industry as something special and meaningful. The thoughtful words that went into the nomination are truly the real award and will continue to remind me that what I do matters for the rest of my life and that I should approach every task no matter how big or small, with that in mind.
I encourage everyone to think about someone they know that is adding depth and value to our industry. Someone that deserves to be seen by their peers, their industry and themselves. The impact of being seen will leave a lasting impression on their life and career and YOU can initiate that impact with taking the time to nominate!

The MAE Awards are not just trophies on a shelf; they are a testament to our ongoing commitment to breaking new ground in the realm of marketing creativity and staying abreast of the cutting-edge trends that shape our industry.
We pour soul and strategy into every campaign, and our team is excited to celebrate every year at the MAE Awards! Our marketing endeavors are not merely about meeting objectives; they are an embodiment of passion, a manifestation of creativity and a continual aspiration to engage with our audience in the most meaningful ways possible.
While all our 2023 campaigns were crafted with pride, there's one that holds a special place in our hearts—the Reputation Management campaign. Along with the Aspen’s team's dedication to providing excellent customer service and truly striving to receive more feedback they ended up making a monumental leap from the middle of the pack of Satisfacts epIQ to our top community and marketing was happy to help with creative marketing pieces to achieve those mutual goals. MAE is such a wonderful platform to recognize and celebrate the hard work and creativity of marketing teams. Van Metre is especially eager to share the innovative projects we've dedicated ourselves to throughout 2024.
