Members of our Atlanta team recently attended the annual Trade Show and had a great time connecting with industry professionals, meeting new vendors, and representing Royal American within the multifamily industry.

This year’s event featured a fun 80s theme, bringing plenty of energy, creativity, and throwback style to the trade show floor. From neon colors and classic music to themed outfits and interactive vendor booths, the event created a great atmosphere for networking and collaboration.

Events like these are a valuable opportunity for our teams to stay connected with industry trends, discover innovative solutions, and continue building strong relationships with partners and vendors. We love being actively involved in our local apartment associations and appreciate opportunities like this to learn, grow, and connect with others in the industry.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our team members who earned promotions in April! Please join us in congratulating the following individuals on their well-deserved achievements:

  • Monisha Glover, Oak Tree Apts, Assistant Community Manager
  • Candice Crosby, Clearlake Isle, Community Manager
  • Terica Scott, Regency Pointe I, Community Manager
  • Joyce Prince, Seacoast, Community Manager
  • Benjamin Glass, Hilltop Pointe, Maintenance Superintendent
  • Jorge Fis Quiros, Ambar Trail, Maintenance Supervisor

Our Annual Achievement Awards are always a special time during the year where our regional teams and corporate staff get the chance to reconnect, strengthen relationships, share ideas, and celebrate the work being done across our communities and departments. From meetings and collaboration sessions to casual conversations and shared meals, it’s a reminder of how strong our Royal American family truly is.

We are excited to welcome Lisa McQueen to the Royal American team as a Regional Manager!

With over 20 years of experience in multifamily affordable housing, Lisa is dedicated to making a positive impact at every property she supports. She thrives in challenging environments and takes pride in strengthening operations, supporting her teams, and contributing to the overall success of each community.

Outside of work, Lisa enjoys designing and creating jewelry, especially pieces featuring pearls. She also loves spending time at the beach and cherishes every moment with her grandchildren when they come to visit.

Please join us in giving Lisa a warm Royal American welcome! We’re excited to have her experience, passion, and leadership on our team.
