On November 8-10, 2011, Quantum managers and staff  attended the Mid-Atlantic AHMA Conference held at the Holiday Inn Select-Koger South Conference Center in Richmond, Virginia. This annual conference provides training and information for owners and managers of affordable multifamily housing communities. This year provided both Tax Credit and HUD training as well as other relevant sessions for property management.  Staff also enjoyed the popular vendor reception, gift basket raffle, and vendor exhibition.

On Friday, October 28, 2011, members of the Quantum Management team worked with the Property Management Association’s Community Action Committee to beautify the grounds of Mrs. Philippines Home for Senior Citizens in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

Island Walk in Reston, Virginia, and Covenant Village in Germantown, Maryland, were honored on October 18th with 2011 PACE Awards as the best apartment communities in their class in the metropolitan Washington area.  PACE is to the local apartment industry what an Oscar is to the movie industry.  PACE awards are presented by the Property Management Association to recognize and celebrate excellence in apartment management.  Each property competed against other communities that charge similar rent and were evaluated based on defined criteria that include resident services, property condition and community outreach among other factors that make a difference.  It is gratifying to know that Quantum and its properties have been honored by the industry for their commitment to resident service.  Being named a PMA PACE winner will make that commitment even stronger.

Certificate of accomplishment recipients who received a score of 90 or higher included:

   Cedar Ridge        Herndon Harbor House        Lockwood House        Madonna House at Belmont

Elmwood House          Morris Glen          Evergreen House          Wingler House

On September 24, 2011, Quantum employees and their families enjoyed a fun time at High Point Farm in Clarksburg, Maryland. Picnickers were able to participate in several fun activities. A clown entertained the children with balloon animals. Guests could sing some karaoke, play some volley ball, and enter a cornhole contest. Everyone had fun making scarecrows and decorating them to bring home to their properties.
