And it\u2019s all thanks to you! Here are some key takeaways from this year\u2019s Forum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-popular-pha-classes-this-year\"><strong>Popular PHA classes this year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PHA Forum offered dozens of courses, catering to diverse interests and needs. Among the most popular were ones focusing on financial management, compliance and advanced reporting techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top classes from this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maximize Funding with VMS Reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online Briefing, RFTA &amp; HAP Contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HOTMA: All About Interims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correcting Ledgers and Subledgers: Best Practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PHA Rent &amp; HAP Posting: Best Practices<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you missed out on these classes this year, many will be offered in August at YASC San Diego. Be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/yasc\/north-america\/?utm_campaign=YASC%20San%20Diego&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=298468642&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--rsEoda7k84MLHT1yVAQ8ostSIgp_Rg6h4xkYzwtMI1uabSk7DwchTc3OhEkxHXGo1sgF3aY2bi224Z2hzcf-a3wxqxw&amp;utm_content=298468642&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;vi=932274235\">register today.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-innovative-product-demos-at-knowledge-central\"><strong>Innovative product demos at knowledge central<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We loved delving into the software during our one-on-one training sessions. Sometimes, we underestimate the value of in person sessions, especially when learning about a brand-new product or service. Having an expert show you features in real time is truly a benefit and a reason the forum is so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-networking-events-and-socials\"><strong>Networking events and socials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just about taking notes and learning! We hosted several networking events following the classes for attendees to debrief and socialize \u2014 including a rooftop cocktail event which overlooked the scenic and historic Potomac River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we can\u2019t forget our very own Yardi Party. After a long day of classes, we hosted staff and attendees for a night of networking and dancing. The evening was filled with lively conversations, a photo booth, delicious food, and a vibrant dance floor \u2014 creating the perfect atmosphere for socializing and unwinding after a productive day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sharing-in-the-yardi-ambassador-program\"><strong>Sharing in the Yardi Ambassador Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests enjoyed chatting with Yardi\u2019s Sean Geraghty at the ambassador booth to learn more about how they can get involved with <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.yardi.com\/documents\/yardi-ambassador-program-guide\/\">The Ambassador Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s Forum saw over 100 ambassador sign ups. Geraghty explained: \u201cThe program is designed for clients who aspire to be industry leaders, celebrate their successes and give credit to their teams.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is designed to be mutually beneficial<em>:<\/em> we gain valuable insights from their stories and clients have a platform for them to establish themselves as thought leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-feedback-from-our-clients\"><strong>Feedback from our clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team was lucky enough to sit down with clients and learn about their experience with Yardi. We had some great conversations about why our clients love attending The Forum each year. We\u2019re always striving to learn how we can help you innovate and grow. Here are a few of our favorite comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My favorite thing about Yardi is the ability to manage all our daily business in one software. It just makes life that much easier.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>Weneisha Brand, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.a2gov.org\/departments\/Housing\/Pages\/default.aspx\"><strong>Ann Arbor Housing Commission<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am also excited to go to the class today on the Asset IQ Executive Dashboard. I have a manual dashboard that I have been keeping but if I can have that automated and put it into the system and pull the data from there. I am excited about that capability\u201d &#8211; <strong>Carol Jones-Gilbert, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbchafl.org\/\"><strong>Palm Beach County Housing Authority<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And so, as we became a Yardi, customer a few years ago, we have been really looking at the different platforms that you offer to make sure that we are working smarter, not harder.&#8221;&#8221; &#8211;<strong> Denita Bearden, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/habd.org\/\"><strong>Housing Authority of the Birmingham District<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summing-it-all-up\"><strong>Summing it all up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes The Forum so special is the opportunity to build relationships. Meeting face-to-face with people who have supported you over the phone fosters even deeper connections. As Jeanette Porter, a senior manager at Yardi, explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, The Forum is all about connecting with our clients and strengthening those bonds we\u2019ve formed. It provides a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and learn about the future aspirations of our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at The Forum this year!
