Management Directory Coming in May
Publication of the May issue of
New Eng-
land Condominium
is just around the corner
— and it’s one that association owners, trust-
ees, and board members will want to keep
and turn to again and again throughout the
year. Dedicated to the management indus-
try, this popular issue will cover key associa-
tion management topics and will include the
Management Directory, a complete guide to
management professionals serving New Eng-
land communities.
In this issue, management firms will be
showcased in a full-color section designed to
help homeowners and board members make
informed choices when it’s time for com-
munities 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 man-
agement team.
Management firms should watch their in-
boxes in the days ahead for an invitation to be
listed in the directory — or contact
