A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
We are also excited to announce that our
Chapter will turn the big 5-0 this year!
It’s a major landmark for us! We will be
celebrating Past Presidents throughout the
year as well as have special activities to
involve everyone in our celebration. We
are honored to have so many Past Presidents still involved in our Chapter. Please
be sure to read the list of all our Past
Presidents in our newsletters and on our
website at www.iremnc40.
Polly Sennett, CPM
Happy New Year! I hope everyone
had happy holidays. 2009 was a rough year for
many of us. All sectors of the real estate industry have been hit hard and we are all anxious to
see some growth again. As we look forward to
2010, IREM Chapter 40 has become more important then ever to us as professionals. In
times of recession we can increase our education through IREM's education classes, network
with other real estate professionals, and push
ourselves to succeed to new heights.
Our membership continues to grow and
we are excited to see many more Accredited Residential Managers among our
membership. Last year we swore in 6
ARM’s. Our chapter will be looking for
ways to serve our ARM’s as an important
sector of the real estate market.
Our chapter is also trying to evolve to
meet the demands of the next generation
by becoming more involved in social media. Be on the lookout for an IREM Chap-
ter 40 Fanpage on Facebook. To this end,
we will be having Jeff Elder, from the
Charlotte Observer speak at our January
luncheon about social media along with
our “Coats for Kids” collection.
Please don’t forget to check out all the
resources IREM National has to offer at
irem.org. As members of IREM, we also
have access to IREM First. IREM First
has the tools and network to help you find
the information you need. When the H1N1
virus first started making headlines, I went
right to IREM First to see how other property managers were responding to it.
IREM First gave me some good tips and
tools for property management’s role.
I’m looking forward to a great year and
working with each of you! Please do not
hesitate to contact me at 704-875-0100 or
email me at psennett@spectrumproperties.com.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS
.
At IREM November’s luncheon, we collected 240 pounds of food for the 2nd
Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. These donations will feed a family of four 40
meals or 160 individual meals. Thank you IREM Members and Friends of IREM
for your contributions and efforts to help end hunger in our community!
IREM’S ANGELS
Every year IREM supports Thompson Child & Family Focus. This year we were
able to sponsor 6 girls living together in a cottage between the ages of 9 and 11 for
the Holiday season. Thank you IREM members and Friends of IREM for making
this Christmas special for these girls!
Monica’s Story
Thompson Early Childhood Services
Monica is four. Thompson met her a year ago when she and her ten-month-old twin brothers arrived at the Thompson Child
Development Center. Their mother, Regina, was herself born into a cycle of poverty, single parent, limited job skills, a
neighborhood of domestic violence, prostitution and substance abuse. Regina needed help. Monica had been expelled from
two other early childhood programs because of tantrums that verged on violence. Regina loved her children and wanted
better for them. But how? She feared for the safety of the twins. She was overworked and had very limited funds. Then
she joined the Thompson family. Monica was welcomed into at Thompson preschool classroom and gently nurtured.
Teachers and supporting specialists observed her, praised her and provide the support she needed. She learned reasonable
boundaries and expectations. Thompson specialists also worked with Regina to develop an Individual Education Plan for
Monica that extended the nurturing school environment into their home. Regina worked with counselors to develop personal
and parenting strategies. One year later, Regina is enrolled in a job training program. She glowingly speaks of her three
bright children and says “things at home” are much better. Monica is a peaceful and happy preschooler who loves to paint
and “read” to her brothers. There are so many children of promise like Monica who just need the right kind of help to make
a lifetime of difference.
January Coats for Kids Collection
Bring a coat to the luncheon on January 20th! We will accept new coats, gently
used coats, and monetary donations. These jackets will help children in our
community stay warm this winter season. All coats will be distributed through
The Crisis Assistance Ministry.
Thank you in advance for your contributions!
For more information please contact Cyndi Johnson at 704-875-0101 or cjohnson@spectrum-properties.com.

FRIENDS OF IREM
Special thanks to all our Friends of IREM for your support in 2009! As members of IREM, we are fortunate to have our Friends of IREM
to contact for both technical expertise and cost estimates. The Friends of IREM want to do business with our members, but they also understand that the best way to earn it is to be a source of dependable and accurate information for IREM members. So don’t be afraid to
contact them because you are worried that you might have to turn them down, instead ask a Friend of IREM for a proposal. That proposal
might develop into a business relationship that benefits you, your company, and a Friend of IREM. We depend on our Friends of IREM
for their support and they depend on your business. Give our Friends of IREM a chance to earn your business. For your convenience each
category and company is listed. For more information about our Friends of IREM go to www.iremnc40.com. Please call on our valued
Friends of IREM for all your contractor needs in 2010.

TRADE SHOW
SAVE THE DATE!
May 19th - for the Annual IREM Trade Show. This annual event replaces the bi-monthly meeting
and allows property managers the opportunity to meet the Friends of IREM and find out more about
the products and services offered in a booth style trade show atmosphere.
This is a “must attend” event!
Stay tuned for more details or call contact Brenda Murray at dresi@bellsouth.net or 704-953-6520.
OWNERS, DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS AND EMPLOYERS
The ODIE Committee met on December 11, 2009 and began making plans for our 2010 efforts.
ODIE (Owners, Developers, Investors and Employers) was created several years ago by IREM National to focus on the decision
makers of organizations who may be hiring personnel where someone with an IREM certification would be a relevant fit for the
position.
Randy Robinson and Tom Wallace discussed an initial list of 10 areas of focus for the coming year in an effort to help us grow our
membership. By looking internally at our databases, we will determine “ODIE’s” that we can call upon:
1. Randy contacted the Business Journal for a list of the top 25 management firms in the area
2. The UNCC program with Dustin Read will continue in 2010 with a possible connection for new Associate
members
3. Analyze internal database of Property Managers within our local chapter
4. Determine which Property Managers our vendors and Friends of IREM are working with
5. Reactivate some type of a “refer a member” incentive program.
6. Look into the HOA's & POA's by speaking with property managers in that industry
7. Reach out to Industrial, Retail & Office decision makers and contact the Regional Manager level of multifamily
organizations.
8. Coordinate with the candidate guidance committee for candidate guidance groups and
companies they work for that may have other members.
9. Invite your boss to a meeting
10. Contact third party leasing companies that we work with to identify property managers that
they are dealing with.
As we build our database, the opportunities of firms to visit should become obvious. We can then network with our members to
determine the persons we need to speak with.
