The Landlords Association of
Arkansas is an organization that is making positive changes. Organized
in 2004 under the leadership of John Hill as our first president,
followed by John Schroeder, past president, we have already achieved
many objectives:
-Developed a state website
-Annual
educational convention (click on “Convention” for the latest)
-Recruited
more chapters
-Contracted Gail Blucker as our Executive Director
-Act 1004 – New Eviction Law
-Assisted in the veto of laws that were detrimental to
our business
-Contracted Chris Stewart of Brent Stevenson Associates
as our lobbyist
What we are doing as a state
organization –
-Monthly, we bring together representatives from every
chapter throughout the state
-Formed a Legislative Affairs Committee to work on your
behalf with our lobbyist
-Discuss concerns for your local chapters
-Organize annual conferences to further landlord
education, legislative updates, and vendor information
-Continue to organize more chapters
-Process of developing a state newsletter (Gail Blucker,
Executive Director)
-Assist local chapters in formulating websites,
newsletters, and speakers
Your local chapter needs your
support. The state organization needs your support. Your lobbyist
needs your support. Please attend as many meetings as you can. If you
are a landlord or property manager and not in a chapter, please check
our “Associations” tab and contact someone in your area or call Gail
Blucker, Executive Director at 501-835-6679 or 501-519-0122. If your
area does not have a chapter, please contact Gail for more information.
Having served as past president
of the Northeast Arkansas Landlord Association, on the board of the
Landlords Association of Arkansas, and attending annual convention, I
have met a lot of landlords and property managers that have concerns
about the business as it is today. I am excited about working with the
board, Chris Stewart, our lobbyist, and the local chapters. Please do
not hesitate to call should you have issues, or if you are interested in
getting more involved.
Sincerely,
Marie Willis
President
Landlords Association of Arkansas
