Reverse Trade Show Benefiting the National Apartment Association's Political Action Committee

 

 

A big thanks to the management members and vendor members who participated in the CAA's first ever reverse trade show benefiting NAA PAC on September 24.  Close to $3,000 was raised for NAA PAC.

The event was a fast-paced, highly effective networking opportunity between Associate (vendor) members and Direct members which raised money for the National Apartment Association's Political Action Committee.  This event allowed vendors the opportunity to meet one on one with owners and decision makers from property management companies.
