Management Directory Coming in May Publication of the May issue of New England Condominium is just around the corner — and it’s one that association owners, trustees, and board members will want to keep and turn to again and again throughout the year. Dedicated to the management industry, this popular issue will cover key association manage- ment topics and will include the Man- agement Directory, a complete guide to management professionals serving New England communities. In this issue, management firms will be showcased in a full-color section de- signed to help homeowners and board members make informed choices when it’s time for communities to consider management contracts. Recognizing that associations have different needs, this valuable resource makes it easy for decision-makers to find the perfect fit for their communities, with information ranging from their geographic areas of service to the professional designations held by their management team. Management firms should watch their inboxes in the days ahead for an invitation to be listed in the directory — or contact New England Condominium’s Alyce Hill (alycehill@yrinc.com) to ensure their place in the 2021 edition of this “Who’s Who” in the management industry.
