LINDA LANG
President and CEO Arizona Association of Community Managers www.aacm.com Lang leads AACM, a professional trade association for Arizona’s HOA community managers. Led by her entrepreneurial spirit, Lang founded successful companies including a concrete construction company, a commercial and industrial machine shop and Arizona Rotorcraft, Inc., a maintenance center for Rolls Royce Allison turbine helicopter engines. Trend to watch: “The community management industry and the homeowner association industry in general are threatened by over-legislation that attacks a homeowner’s right to contract. As regulation through legislation takes hold, increased costs to homeowners and an inability for local control to thrive isn’t far behind. Arizona’s homeowners would be best served by ensuring that HOAs can freely contract with professional community managers capable of developing and maintaining wellcared-for communities.” Surprising fact: “I am a former NHRA alcohol funny car driver and have flown in an F-16 fighter jet.”
