ON SITE AWARDS
SAHMA EXCELLENCE IN MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Southeastern Affordable Housing Management Association (SAHMA) is proud to announce the SAHMA Excellence in Management Program to honor the on-site management staff that is an integral part of every management company team.
Why wait to honor the exceptional on-site management professional and limit it to once a year? The Excellence in Management Program is designed to encourage the on-site staff to take the initiative to complete a comprehensive yet easy application process. No binders, copies of paperwork or photos. This is an opportunity for the on-site staff to accumulate points for the many things that are done on a daily basis to run an excellent affordable housing community. On-site staff work hard to promote affordable housing by sustaining communities of quality while offering care and a sense of community to our residents.
Once an application has been completed it should be signed by a direct supervisor and a management company principal officer.
Submit the application, along with a nominal fee of $50 per application, to SAHMA as soon as it is completed. Applications are accepted anytime! The fee will cover processing of the application and a certificate and pin will be issued to each applicant who scores a minimum of 80 points. Applications that score 90 points or more will be automatically entered into a regional contest from which a panel of judges will select one winner. Enter all points that apply – the higher the score the better your chance of impressing the judges. A $1000 prize will awarded during the SAHMA Regional Conference in August of each year. The winner will be proclaimed the SAHMA On-Site Manager of the Year.
Submissions must attain a minimum score on the following basis:
| Section 1: Credentials | 20 Points (Minimum) |
| Section 2: Resident Programs and Services | 20 Points (Minimum) |
| Section 3: Support of SAHMA Programs | 10 Points (Minimum) |

There is no restriction on the number of applications submitted from one management company. We encourage applications from each and every property owned and/or managed by a SAHMA member. All applicants accepted into the “Excellence” program will be recognized at each state meeting.
Renewal will be required annually. This process will be quick and easy with an update form required to keep the file current and/or update the total number of points.
