Active Participation Is Essential For Success

In the property management industry, active participation isn't just a choice – it's a necessity. At Premiere Property Services, we've learned over our 30 years in business that true industry leadership comes from rolling up our sleeves and diving into the heart of our professional community. Our involvement in multiple property management associations isn't just about having a seat at the table; it's about helping to build that table and deciding what gets served.

Why We Show Up

We believe that our success is intrinsically linked to the success of our industry as a whole. That's why you'll find us deeply involved in organizations like the Property Management Association of West Michigan (PMAWM), the Property Management Association of Michigan (PMAM), and the Property Management Association of Mid-Michigan (PMAMM). We're not just members – we're active participants on committees, boards, and initiatives that shape the future of property management.

Chris Brennan, Safety and Marketing Manager, puts it this way: "Every time we engage with these associations, we're not just representing Premiere; we're contributing to the elevation of our entire industry. It's about creating a rising tide that lifts all boats."

This philosophy translates into tangible actions. We hold positions on the PMAWM Board of Directors, chair the Membership Committee, and actively participate in the Education and Next Gen Committees. At the state level, we serve on the PMAM Board of Directors and Membership Committee. Our reach extends to mid-Michigan through our involvement in the PMAMM Next Gen Committee.

But why does this matter? Because every policy we help shape, every relationship we build, and every best practice we develop contributes to strengthening our industry. This, in turn, allows us to better fulfill our mission of providing high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective renovation and repair services to apartment properties and manufactured housing communities.

Podcasts: Our Secret Weapon

In our quest to foster industry engagement, we've discovered an unexpected ally: podcasting. We host a series of podcasts that serve as a platform for education and motivation. These aren't your typical dry, corporate monologues. Instead, they're lively discussions that peek behind the curtain of property management, highlighting the opportunities and challenges that define our industry today.

"Our podcasts are like a rallying cry," says Chris Brennan, one of our key decision-makers. "They're designed to light a fire under those who might be on the fence about getting more involved in our industry associations."

And it's working. We've seen a noticeable uptick in association participation since launching our podcast series. Members who were once content to sit on the sidelines are now stepping up, joining committees, and making their voices heard. It's not just about increasing numbers; it's about enriching the quality of industry discourse and decision-making.

The Ripple Effect of Involvement

Our active participation creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond Premiere. By developing policies and nurturing relationships within the industry, we're contributing to a more robust, innovative, and responsive property management sector.

Take, for example, our work on the PMAWM Membership Committee. We've been instrumental in shaping training programs that elevate the skills of property managers across West Michigan. This doesn't just benefit our company; it raises the bar for the entire industry, ultimately leading to better experiences for residents.

Our involvement in the Next Gen committees of both PMAWM and PMAMM is another point of pride. Here, we're helping to nurture the future leaders of our industry, ensuring that the next generation of property management professionals is well-equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow.

Chris Brennan, notes, "When we invest our time and expertise in these associations, we're really investing in the future of our industry. It's about creating a legacy that extends beyond the walls of Premiere."

The Challenges and Rewards

Of course, this level of involvement doesn't come without its challenges. It requires a significant investment of time and resources. There are long meetings, event planningBin, and sometimes, difficult decisions to be made. But we've found that the rewards far outweigh the costs.

Our active participation has allowed us to stay at the forefront of industry trends, giving us a competitive edge. It's helped us build a network of partnerships that have been instrumental in our expansion into new markets. Most importantly, it's allowed us to play a part in shaping an industry we're passionate about.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, our commitment to industry involvement remains unwavering. We're excited about expanding our reach into the mid-Michigan and Detroit markets, and we know that our strong industry relationships will be key to this growth.

We're also constantly seeking new ways to engage and contribute. Whether it's through our continued work on association boards, our evolving podcast series, or new initiatives yet to be conceived, we're dedicated to driving positive change in the property management industry.

In the end, our message is simple: Get involved. Whether you're a property manager, an owner, or a service provider like us, your voice and your efforts matter. The future of our industry is shaped by those who show up, speak up, and take action.

At Premiere Property Services, we're proud to be among those actively working to create a brighter future for property management. We invite you to join us in this journey of industry transformation. After all, the best way to predict the future is to create it – together.
