PCAM, CMCA, Senior Community Manager
I have been employed by Executive
Property Management (EPM) since September 1988. Leonard
and Janice Barber, President and Vice President of EPM,
take active roles in overseeing the management of their
communities. They have been instrumental in assisting me
throughout the years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed
working at Westgate Square for the past 19 years.
Managing has been such a challenge to me. Every day is
different so my job is very diversified and interesting.
I consider Westgate my "second home."
I have taken many courses in
property management over the years and completed a
case study where I earned the designation of
Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) in
1996. I am very proud to have earned this designation
because only about 500 manager throughout the country
hold the PCAM designation. I have also earned my
Certified Manager of Associations designation.
I am on site Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, meeting with our contractors, organizing
the maintenance work and working with our
homeowners. I have the pleasure of working with
Kathy Lucy, EPM District Property Manager, who
assists me on Tuesdays and Thursday. Her
assistance frees me up to do inspections, meet
with our contractors and work with the Board of
Trustees to manage the Association at Westgate
Square.
I look forward to my continued
relationship with the beautiful Westgate Square
community.

District Manager
I have been working at Executive
Property Management since November 2000. Prior
to that, I was an assistant to the controller of
an Israeli company for 16 years. When I had a
career change, I decided to choose a field that
I thought I would best suited for, and property
management was my choice. I had served on the
Board of Trustees in the condominium where I
lived for many years, and enjoyed the diversity
of the field. My Association was managed by
Executive Property Management, and I came to EPM
knowing the company and wanting to be a part of
it. I knew I would be working with contractors,
board members and, most importantly, the
homeowners. I consider myself to be a "people
person," which is really a requirement of the
job.
I initially assisted in the
accounting department of EPM due to my extensive
accounting background. After 6 months, I was
given the responsibility of managing two
properties, and to assist part-time at Westgate
Square. It's the best of two worlds. I am on
site at Westgate Square on Tuesdays and
Thursday, and enjoy it very much. Gail McDermid,
Senior Community Manager, has been a great
mentor to me. My other communities are managed
from the EPM office in North Brunswick. This too
has been a benefit since I have the experienced
staff at EPM to answer my every question and to
guide me since this was a new field of
employment for me. I manage a property in South
Brunswick with 290 units and one in Bedminster
with 108 units. If you consider the 396 units at
Westgate Square, I am sure you will agree that I
am kept very busy.
I took the course to qualify
for the M-100 Essentials of Community Association
Management, but was unable to take the final exam due
to a disability. (I fell in November 2002 and was on
disability for 4 months.) I am back to work and will
be completing the requirements to fulfill that
designation.
As you can imagine, it is an
ever-changing job. Each season brings new
responsibilities, but with the guidance from Gail
McDermid at Westgate Square, and the support of the
EPM staff, I look forward to many rewarding years at
EPM. I have already made lifelong friendships with
many of my associates. "It doesn't get any better than
that."
