The Apartment Association Outreach, Inc.


LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT By Jeff March, BRG Apartments, Outreach President


Welcome to 2021, and like most of you, I am glad that 2020 is now in the rear view mirror! I remain extremely proud of our col- lective efforts as we contributed more than $250,000 back into our community to help thousands of our citizens who were severely impacted by the pandemic.


I also know that the needs have not Jeff March


diminished, and that Apartment Association Outreach (AAO) will continue to rise to the challenge and provide the vital financial sup- port to our community partners. We are well


positioned to accomplish this as we finished up the most successful fundraising year in our history thanks to the incredible generosity of our membership. Our balance sheet is strong, and we have more good news from December to share with you! First, many thanks to Tonya Beckner with Miller Valentine


Group, Gerry Johnson with RentPath, their dedicated committee and our very own Michele Klusman for their herculean efforts to hold our first ever Holiday Cheers Virtual Event. The event was a tremendous success and exceeded our expectations! And second, we learned that we were awarded a $30,000 grant from the L & L Nippert Charitable Foundation which is dedicated to help our food pantry partners. These funds will be used to provide financial support, to assist our partners that do not have refrigera- tor / freezer units, and to assist Gateway Community College in forming two food pantries on a couple of their campuses. Many thanks to Susan Peck, Patty Braun and the amazing Outreach team


for this successful grant request. Thus, with all of this wonderful news, AAO generated a record level of total income in 2020 … approximately $350,000! Thanks to all of you for elevating your game during COVID-19! 5K 4 Rent: Please hold the date of Saturday, April 10, 2021,


for the Cincinnati Coin Laundry 5K 4 Rent. We are still in the midst of the pandemic so we will keep the membership informed as the date approaches. We are hopeful that we can all be together in April. AAO Board: I would like to thank the Board for their efforts


during 2020, and it is important for our donors to know that every Board member contributed personally to Outreach last year, and the total gifts from Board members and their sponsor companies totaled more than $80,000. I am extremely proud of our Board members and their company’s commitment to AAO! I am grateful that Megan Lawhon (PLK Communities), Sean


Blythe (Heritage Hill Capital Partners), Jordann Morgan (Fath Properties), and Janie Evans (Cassady Schiller CPS’s & Advisors) all agreed to serve for another 3-year term. In December, the Board voted unanimously to welcome Justin Seger (Hills Properties) to the AAO Board, and we will benefit from his experience and lead- ership. Lastly, Mark Franks was voted in as Vice-President and Emily Howard as Secretary for 2021. Janie Evans will continue to serve as Treasurer, and I am honored to serve as President in 2021. I look forward to 2021, and a return to some sense of normalcy (please), and I thank our entire membership in advance for your continued support of Outreach and our efforts to help those in our community who deserve our assistance, especially during these uncertain times.
