The 2021 Massachusetts Apartment Association Achievement and President's Awards honor the hard work, great service, and important skills within our apartment industry. 

2021 MAA Achievement Awards Updates

  • In 2020, a committee of MAA members and staff reviewed the categories, nomination process, and judging process.
  • The committee utilized information about the NAA Excellence Awards; information about awards programs run by other NAA affiliates; feedback from past MAA submitters; and knowledge of the Massachusetts apartment industry overall to update the Awards process.
  • The committee has added and edited the Communities of Excellence Award categories to honor a greater number of types, sizes, and ages of our local communities fairly. 
  • The committee has added and edited the Professional Achievement Award categories to reflect the job titles in today's apartment industry, as well as honor the hardworking supplier members in our association.
  • The committee has edited the nomination questions/requirements to simplify the process for submitters and provide quality information for the judges.
  • Additionally, the committee built this online nomination platform so submitters can input information without any special technology without shipping or transporting paper materials. This platform also allows judges to easily review the nominations.

Call for Judges

MAA is grateful for the support of members who give their time to judge this awards program. If you are interested in helping judge this year's nominations, please contact Sharon Cheng at scheng@gbreb.com.

  • Judges who have submitted a nomination will not be permitted to judge that category. ​
  • Judges must be MAA members in good standing.
  • All nomination documents and discussions between judges will be considered confidential.
