CELEBRATE HOME: GCNKAA HOSTS MULTIFAMILY HOUSING DAY ON APRIL 19

The Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association (GCNKAA) is celebrating the apartment housing industry with the return of our Apartment Housing Day. This is your chance as associate members, property owners, and property management companies to celebrate working in the greatest industry - apartment housing! GCNKAA is planning to Celebrate Home by hosting their sixth annual Apartment Housing Day Cocktail Reception at the Rent Manager offices located at 9140 Waterstone Boulevard (off I-71 near Fields Ertel Road) in Cincinnati on April 19 from 5 pm to 7 pm. All members are welcome to attend. This free event includes food, beer, wine, soft drinks, door prizes and entertainment. In 2019, we hosted 100 people and gave away hundreds of dollars worth of door prizes. We expect an even bigger crowd this year so to ensure we prepare enough food and beverages, please register in advance by clicking here or emailing Nicole at nicole@gcnkaa.org.

BONUS EDUCATION COURSES ADDED TO MULTIFAMILY HOUSING DAY Don’t miss your chance to further your education with two bonus classes on Tuesday, April 19. Kicking off the day is the Diversity and Inclusion seminar Becoming An Ally presented by Marci French from 1:30 pm to 3 pm at Rent Manager. Are you struggling with how to best show

up as an ally to diverse groups in the multifamily industry? Whether you are a maintenance tech or a property owner, this seminar is essential! As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Join Marci French to discuss ways to become a better ally in the workplace. She will talk about how to become an ally, what support really looks like, and how to show up! Then, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, join us for some Fair Housing Feud with Katie Rigsby. Fair Housing can be confusing and sometimes a point of contention. Reduce your risk of a “Fair Housing Feud” by ensuring your team is properly trained and equipped to handle the most sensitive of Fair Housing issues. Fair Housing training is not a one and done type of education. With ever changing laws and new cases popping up daily, it is imperative that property management personnel and service providers are well informed and trained regularly. In this fun and educational Fair Housing session, Katie addresses hot topics such as disabilities and service/support animals. A game show themed session for ALL multifamily personnel, at any level. Attend with your entire team and you may just get a chance to play to win! Seminars are $100 each or take them both for a combined price of $139.99. The April General Membership Meeting is free to attend. To register for the seminars, click here.
