Hi Everyone!
Thank you to all of you who attended our 5th annual Star Awards this year.
Congratulations to all of our 2013 Star Awards winners and nominees! You all
deserve to be recognized after what a wonderful job you’ve done this year. I also
want to thank the outgoing board members for all of their great work and
dedication this past year, you will be missed! Congratulations to all of our new
board members and I look forward to a great year with all of you. I hope we can
make 2014 the best year yet with MGAA.
This year I encourage all of our MGAA members to get involved. I’d love to see
everyone help with a committee, host an event, email in suggestions, or any other
way you can to help us make the MGAA the best association in 2014. We recruited
many new members in 2013 and we would love to see us grow even more.
I hope you will all join us at our very first meeting of 2014 in January. We will be
hearing from Animal Control from Macon and Warner Robins about how to save
abandoned pets or any other animal problems communities such as stray cats.
Thanks again for everyone’s hard work in 2013 and I hope you all had a wonderful
holiday season.
If any of you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to email me at
[email protected] or Susan Hewett at [email protected]
I hope to see all of you at the January meeting!
Best,
Katie Walden
President

Efficient on so many levels,
it’s all-electric.
Building or renovating a multi-family development is complex
enough. Simplify with all-electric construction. There’s no
piping or flues to build-in. No extra inspections. Just easy,
flexible installation — and happy tenants that enjoy yearround comfort with the reliability of electric water heaters
and heat pumps. All this with the convenience of one energy
bill and electricity rates below the national average. If you’re
ready to streamline construction and complete projects faster,
learn more about the all-electric advantage in multifamily at
georgiapower.com/propertymanager or 1-800-524-2421.
