began an ongoing preventative maintenance plan to bring this aging community up to speed after years of focusing on reactive repairs only. This community of almost 1,000 homes trusted Rezkom to spend 2+ years working on repairing and replacing all damaged building members, in some cases rebuilding entire exterior walls and stairwells. What might someone be surprised to learn about your company? Rezkom CEO, Jim Rademacher, is committed to staying “ahead of the curve” in all aspects when it comes to the Community Association Industry. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve the experience for our clients and our employees. Rezkom has invested a lot of time evaluating our company practices to streamline processes on all fronts. This year, due to business growth, we have brought on a record number of new employees. This presented us with a great opportunity to reassess our culture and employee retention practices. We revamped our new-hire orienta- tion and training development to educate our staff on the company from all perspectives. This has proven to be successful in creating a greater sense of culture awareness and pride to our new employees. Describe any involvement that your organiza- tion has with community or charitable based programs? At Rezkom, we pride ourselves on building a strong company culture by investing our time in community inter- ests including support of several agencies both inside and

outside of the industry. A couple of the groups that we regu- larly support include the Monmouth County SPCA, Interfaith Neighbors’ Holiday Adopt a Family Program, Special Olympics of NJ, Community Food Bank of NJ, Make a Wish Foundation and Helen’s Angels Breast Cancer Organization. Team Rezkom is always up for supporting these amazing organizations through any means needed, whether it be volunteering, fundraising or charitable contri- butions. Have you or your company received any recent awards or certifications? Rezkom has been an active partner in several industry asso- ciation’s including CAI-NJ, CAI National and IREM Chapter 1. We have received awards including Business Partner of the Year (CAI-NJ), President’s Award (CAI-NJ), Friend of IREM (Chapter 1), Community Service Award (IREM Chapter 1), President’s Key Award (IREM Chapter 1). Additionally, Rezkom has been honored to participate in several education seminars through CAI-NJ. One partic- ularly rewarding opportunity was the chance to lead the certification class for the Educated Business Partner desig- nation. This is a program developed by CAI National that was just brought to the NJ Chapter last year. Rezkom was chosen to proctor this education session as one of only a handful of existing Educated Business Partners in NJ. It is always motivating to share discussions with fellow members about best practices throughout our industry and how to make the most of your involvement. n
