The Alvin L. Sussman Award
Until 2019, the Alvin L. Sussman Award was PMA’s highest honor. The award recognized a property manager who has made an outstanding advancement in the property management profession. In addition to the award, PMA donated $500 in the winner’s name to his or her favorite charity. Award criteria included:
- Enhancing relations between management and residents,
- Advancing the profession by instituting a major improvement in operations,
- Achieving a noteworthy accomplishment resulting in favorable public notice that brings acclaim to the profession, receiving public recognition for a deed or accomplishment that may not pertain to property management but reflects favorably on the individual as a property manager,
- Accomplishing a special achievement in the public sector.
The Alvin L. Sussman Award was retired in 2019, when PMA introduced the EPIC Awards.
