SURREY, BC, Dec. 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa British Columbia recently hosted a vendor forum for the purpose of bringing service providers together and sharing its strategic vision within the ever-changing association management industry. More than 120 companies attended Associa B.C. Vendor Summit at its Surrey office in late November for the first-of-its-kind gathering.

"This vendor summit was the perfect opportunity to share Associa's mission for delivering unsurpassed services with vendors who partner with us and work along-side of us to make sure our managed communities realize their vision," said Associa B.C. President Frank Wood. "It is really encouraging to see that many of our trades and vendors are also seeing the industry challenges that we see and are eager to be part of something that is intended to improve our industry."

"Allowing your partners to see where you want to go so that we can try and assist, is a welcome change in this industry," said National Air Technologies Owner Chris Cryer. "I think it gets lost that property managers need quality trades as much as trades need quality property managers."

"It was so refreshing to hear the transparency during this process, and really left many of us feeling included in the process as Associa B.C. continues to evolve and grow," added Waste Management National Account Manager Tej Kullar.
