We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—our MMHA Leasing Training Academy (LTA) has once again been recognized for its impact! We are now a two-time award-winning program, with our latest honor being the Power of Associations Silver Award from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).

Winning this award for the second time is more than just a recognition. It’s a powerful reminder that what we’re doing—changing lives, creating career pathways, and strengthening the multifamily housing industry—matters.

Why We Do This Work

When we launched the Leasing Training Academy, our mission was simple:

👉 Help people find a meaningful, stable career in residential property management.

Whether you’re unemployed, under-employed, or ready to explore a brand-new professional path, we’re here to give you the training, support, and connections you need to succeed. And we don’t just train—we work hand-in-hand with property management companies to ensure our graduates have real opportunities waiting for them.

This program is about more than leasing—it’s about:

• Opening doors to new beginnings.

• Helping the multifamily industry find skilled, job-ready professionals.

• Strengthening our communities through career growth and economic stability.

What This Second Award Means

When ASAE announced this year’s Power of Associations winners, their President and CEO, Michelle Mason, said:

“Congratulations to the Maryland Multi-Housing Association! It’s always so incredibly satisfying to see associations going above and beyond their everyday mission to change the world. We’re very proud to spotlight this award-winning initiative.”

Being recognized once was amazing. Being recognized twice? It shows that the LTA isn’t just a one-time success—it’s a growing movement with lasting impact.
