Comments regarding our annual conference:
“From registration to the closing plenary, this was a fun, upbeat, and educational conference. Such a good resource for housing providers, from owners to managers to maintenance techs.”
"The hospitality of the AHMA staff and volunteers was ‘above and beyond.’ Thank you! I felt truly welcome and humbled by your efforts to serve attendees on so many levels.”
“The tracks covered different topics than the monthly CE classes so it was expanded education which I appreciate, being new. I want all I can get to perform my job efficiently.”
“The tracks were very informative. For me, they serve as a check-in-balance to ensure I am doing my job and maintain compliance at all levels (files, property management, maintenance, inspections, etc.).”
“Honestly, I can’t learn enough. My first AHMA (conference) was last year and I was amazed at the information I brought home. After a year of learning hands-on, I was more comfortable at this year’s conference. Just wish I could have taken both the general track and the LIHTC track, but I can’t be in two places at same time!”
“Really needed the information on OHCS inspection process. Thanks to the OHCS compliance team trainers for this excellent session.”
"The HUD, OHCS, and RD agency updates on Wednesday morning were informative- learned a lot about what’s going on with housing initiatives here in Oregon.”
“The RD occupancy track had topics that were extra-good this year. I found the sessions to be really helpful and interesting.”
“The asbestos session was incredible. Clint Arp gave us a LOT of new information.”
“Jay DeLapp was informative, funny, and took the time to answer questions. It’s clear he cares about the Rural Development program.”
“Who doesn’t love Amanda Gross? She makes it fun and at the same time is very good at stressing the important items that will make us better managers.”
“Matthew Perry has a wealth of knowledge that he is happy to share with attendees.”
“Instructor Shyle Ruder helped me understand fair housing much better.”
“Seeing others in my industry being recognized for their good work is fulfilling to me, and I won $50 in the door prize drawing!”
“It’s always good to talk with other managers and remember we are all in the same boat. I’m not in this alone. It’s good to build up and encourage each other.”
“Jeff Boyd’s session on communication skills was needed. Without communication, team work doesn’t exist. Thank you for the excellent class, Jeff.”
“Hawaiian hosted happy hour was lots of fun. I was able to interact and meet new people. The photo booth was a hit!”
