Community program recognizes exceptional resident contributions.

2013-03-15

PHOENIX, AZ, March 15, 2013 (Press-News.org) Associated Asset Management (AAM), LLC, a nationally recognized leader in community association management and accounting services for clients throughout the United States, announces a call for "Neighborhood Heroes."

AAM's "Neighborhood Heroes" program was created to recognized residents who make significant contributions in communities the company manages. AAM knows some homeowners regularly go above and beyond to make their communities better places to live. These individuals genuinely make a difference in the lives of others.

Because AAM wants to acknowledge these residents, the company is requesting HOA members in its communities nominate individuals or groups they believe have made a difference. Selected candidates will be recognized at special luncheons.

Examples of past "Neighborhood Hero" contributions include:

- A resident's tireless efforts in raising $48,500 in four years that was divided between a local food pantry and Habitat for Humanity.

- A resident's transformation of a dormant group to an active, organized Neighborhood Watch program.

- A resident's dedicated service as a board member and architectural committee member for 10 years.

"We get up every day excited about 'Creating a Better America, One Neighborhood at a Time,'" said Susan Williams, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at AAM. "We are joined in this movement by some truly astounding members in the communities we serve. Our hats go off to these 'Neighborhood Heroes' and we celebrate them every day!"

Interested parties can get more information on "Neighborhood Heroes" at the company's website. For members who want to nominate a hero in their community, they can download the AAM Neighborhood Hero Application and send it to NeighborhoodHeroes@AssociatedAsset.com.
