Traveling I-5 to Give Out Hi-Fives

You can’t spell WMFHA with the W and to reinforce that we are a statewide association WMFHA team members and special guests traveled from border to border to spend time with our NW & SW members.

WMFHA held membership meetings in Bellingham on October 20 and Vancouver on November 13. Each meeting featured an overview of the association along with updates related to: government affairs and local legislation that could impact property operations; membership benefits; upcoming events and educational opportunities. 

The Vancouver meeting featured many special guests including past WMFHA President and current NAA Region 7 RVP, Sheri Druckman, Trammel Crow. She shared her passion for being involved at both the state and local level and encouraged attendees look for opportunities to volunteer. Incoming 2027 WMFHA Board President, Jennifer Pertzborn, CAPS, ARM, Holland Residential, was also in attendance. She shared about how she first got involved as an assistant manager and is now going to be the WMFHA President. This inspired everyone that you involvement is not about titles, it is about commitment. 

During the government affairs presentation, attendees had the chance to meet WMFHA’s newest lobbyist and Vancouver resident, Cat Holm. She shared what her role will be within the organization. Her down-to-earth style and approachable demeanor made it easy for the attendees to connect with her. Local attorney, Quinn Possner of NW Landlord Solutions, shared insights from he has been seeing in the Vancouver area in regard to evictions and legal notices. Attendees really appreciated hearing from a local expert.

Each meeting received positive feedback from local members who appreciated being able to attend a meeting in their own backyard. WMFHA is committed to using the momentum of these successful meetings to offer even more opportunities in 2027.
