7 Introduction of Property ManagementAccess Management Group Dave Lyons, Property Manager, CMCA Stephanie Munn, Director of Marketing BBB Accredited Business since 02/04/2011 As you know, managing your own community is a challenging task indeed. While this may be a bit bias coming from a management company employee, having a professional Manager and Management Company can help make the Board much more effective. A good manager will handle much of the vendor and homeowner interactions which frees up the Board’s time to think and act strategically for the long term health and vitality of the HOA. The Property Manager is also a good resource from which the Board can draw on to ensure they are on the right path and are making legally and intuitionally sound decisions. Having served on my own Kennesaw HOA Board for 16 years I relied heavily on our Property Manager’s council and direction. I learned so much from my tenure on the Board that I decided to become a manager myself. Dave Lyons Excellent intro by Dave – initial to me in response to request for proposal.
