President’s Message — Happy New Year May your 2023 be filled with new adventures and good fortunes.

By John Tomlinson PresidenT

Happy New Year! May your 2023 be filled with new adventures and good fortunes.

First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Immediate Past President Frank Alvarez for his dedicated service and ongoing contributions to the Apartment Association of Orange County. Having concluded his third term as president last month, and having given so much to our association and industry over the past quarter century, Frank deserves every accolade bestowed upon him — now and in the future. As you may be aware, Frank was honored last month as AAOC’s “Dorothy Gourley Award of Excellence” recipient, and I cannot think of a more deserving recipient of this high honor.

I would also like to thank the AAOC Board of Directors and association members for their faith and confidence in me, by allowing me to serve again as AAOC president in 2023. It is an honor to have this support and to work on your behalf, of course backed by a talented and exceptionally hard-working association staff.

I also hope that you enjoyed and found valuable the information presented at AAOC’s 2023 Multifamily Forecast last month. It was a great event to wrap up 2022, and I’m excited about the events, meetings, and education programs that AAOC has in store for 2023. To get things started, we have our General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, January 11th at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge. This year will also be AAOC’s 52nd Annual Trade Show & Conference, being held on Thursday, March 30th at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa. For further details and to register for this marquee event, please visit www.AAOC.com.

This new year promises to be yet another year of local and state legislative challenges, but you can rest assured that the AAOC staff, your Legislative Committee, and our state lobbyist, Ron Kingston, will continue working tirelessly to defend your property rights and preserve your livelihood as rental property owners and housing providers. To the new year… together. Yours,

John Tomlinson AAOC President
