It’s also Pi Day—if you celebrate—so grab a slice & let’s dole up the latest happenings in our industry:
It was International Women's Day on Saturday & companies celebrating women trended among the content. ??
Speaking of strong women: Dawn Wolter-Parani CPM Candidate stepped into the VP of Operations role at Asset Living & Cortland tapped 3 talented women for leadership: Sandra Kim-Suk, Michelle Johnstone & Chelsea (Biele) Holder. ????
And speaking of talented women, another trio: Sarah Greenough, Sara Scarborough Graham & Cynthia Buckley will be on The Resident Reset panel next week in Boston, hosted by Opiniion Inc. ??
Some more intimate, niche events are happening: there’s a Multifamily MeetUp in Denver sponsored by Grand Peaks, Authentic, WithMe, Inc. & Apartment List & there are more stops coming for EliseAI’s roadshow. ??
Niching down further, John O'Donnell posted about experience-driven living & asked us: Are we building for what people say they want, or for how they actually live? ??
In federal news, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced cuts Section 4 contracts—Multifamily Dive dove into that, while National Apartment Association (Naahq) & National Multifamily Housing Council jointly published a new report on the unintended consequences of over-regulating our industry. ???

And that’s all that happened this week in multifamily.
