"My role as a Community Manager positively affects the lives of people living in Texas apartments. Life happens and crazy things come up. I'm there to try and help them through whatever scenario is necessary because our relationships are deeper than just a business transaction."

- Makenna Caffey, Greystar

“Choices and effort I made only a year and half ago have come to fruition. Not only did I learn to listen to my gut but actively use the wisdom of those who took the time to shape me into what I am capable of today. This moment motivates me to push further and to not be afraid to take more chances on myself.”

- Coby Racine, Camden Property Trust

"I am proud to work in the Texas rental housing industry and to represent supplier partners as an Ambassador. It's exciting we can represent all three of the categories and give people a true taste of how interesting and exciting this industry can be."
