Worcester Dinner Meeting Wed Mar 13th: Worcester Now | Next, Rental Registry and the Certified Massachusetts Landlord™
.
This presentation will review recent changes in Worcester and how owners and property managers can stay current. In particular, we will cover:
- The proposed five-year plan for the City of Worcester, being developed as part of Now | Next.
- The Certified Massachusetts Landlord™, a MassLandlords program that could be incorporated into Now | Next.
- The Worcester rental registry, which will have gone live by this event.
Please note that the Worcester Landlord Summit on March 9 is no longer being co-hosted by us. We will not be there.
Attendees will leave knowing what changes have been taking place in Worcester, how this could affect surrounding towns, and what we need to do.
Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
