A guiding principle of TAAEF is that your most valuable resource is your people. With that in mind, we are focused on bringing exceptional new talent such as our TAAEF ambassadors into the industry. Also, we are working to empower industry leaders to both retain and advance their employees to offer more opportunities for growth in Texas rental housing. We welcome 2025 ambassadors Chelsie Simpson of Q10 Property Advisors, Preston Duff of Precision Appliance Leasing, and Mystri Nestell of Summit Property Management, who each have a very bright future in our industry. Let's get to know TAAEF through their eyes.
