Rebuilding Lives
The “Rebuilding Lives” campaign is a support system to provide donations and emergency supplies when disaster strikes. At a time when a property and residents are facing losses due to fire or natural disaster, we want to be there. Whether it is donating clothing, food, water or a just helping hand, the Indiana Apartment Association is there to support our members. Click here to make a donation.
Sally A. Lentz Visionary Leadership Series
The SAL Visionary Leadership Series was created in memory of Sally Lentz-Crouse, who was a leader in the multifamily housing industry and one of the first female members to serve on the Indiana Apartment Association Board of Directors. In 2008, to keep Sally’s legacy alive, IAA started the annual Visionary Leadership Series. This program encourages multifamily professionals to reach higher levels of leadership by giving them the life skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to achieve their professional and personal goals.
