Our lovely hosts, Rue Fox and Janel Ganim, are sipping on a Red Carpet Cocktail -- LIVE! from ResMania 2024!

Affordable Housing Compliance can be a dry topic, but this session promises to be ANYTHING but dry!

Yes, we’ll cover current trends and legislative or regulatory issues that impact operations on HUD, LIHTC, and Rural Housing properties – but in an interactive way.

The session will feature Affordable Housing experts, Jennifer Wood, VP of The John Stewart Company and Cecilia Cossio, President of Marquis Asset Management. These guests have seen it all from the management and technology sides. But while they may be the ones on stage, this is definitely a session where the audience also participates.

Another Cocktails & Compliance with Rue Fox and Janel Ganim... but this time it's LIVE from TAA ONE Conference! Rue and Janel are joined by Sara Hinson of Allied Orion Group and Cecilia Cossio of Marquis Asset Management.

With a 9am session at TAA, the cocktail of the episode is a delicious Bloody Mary! This session brought in a full house so you don't want to miss this listen.

These four ladies cover a variety of Affordable Housing topics including HOTMA and how Allied Orion and Marquis are handling the transition at their properties, the Renters Bill of Rights, advocacy for Affordable Housing, and more!
