Nominations Open for the 2016 Good Neighbor Award

Each year we recognize a non-member who has gone above and beyond to help landlords. It could be helping us to grow, or teaching us, or creating good public policy.

Last year, we recognized Jamie Williamson, Chair of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. Chair Williamson is ostensibly responsible for fining landlords who violate Massachusetts’ strict discrimination laws. And she does this. But what is not well known is that she spends much of her free time teaching landlords at our weeknight meetings to avoid fines. Chair Williamson’s service to education, candor about the law, and great humor made her an outstanding choice for Good Neighbor 2015.

Good Neighbor 2016 is yet to be chosen. Has a representative or senator gone out of their way to draft legislation for us? Has a friendly mayor or city councilor stood up for property rights in your community? Has a business offered outstanding service to many members? Tell us!

Nominations should be mailed to info@masslandlords.net by October 28. Tell us the name of the person, why they deserve to be recognized, and how to contact them (phone number, email, or address). Nominees will be printed in the newsletter. One or more will be selected by the Board of Directors for the award.
