AAGLA Expands Its Presence in the Inland Empire

“AAGLA made a major impression with this latest rendition of the IPME. It has been many years since an organization like ours, one that focuses solely on rental housing and property management, has held a conference of this magnitude in the Inland Empire. Our plan is to be back not only next year, but with frequent seminars and many other member events taking place in the Inland Empire throughout the year.”

Daniel Yukelson
AAGLA Chief Executive and Executive Director

The IPMAs were AAGLA's first time recognizing industry excellence in property management, and the awards program was the first rental housing industry awards program in that region for more than 15 years.

Dates for AAGLA’s annual Income Property Management Expo, taking place in Pasadena each March, will be announced soon.
