The NAA Apartmentcast - Paths, People and Possibilities: Celebrating RPM Careers Week
Apr 10, 2026 Season 4 Episode 5

Get ready—this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast is all about celebrating the heartbeat of our industry: RPM Careers Week! We’re joined by Shellie Sims, Director of Workforce Development and Career Awareness at the NAA Education Institute, for an inside look at why this nationwide celebration is bigger, bolder and more important than ever.

We’re spotlighting the dynamic, people‑first career paths that make residential property management such a powerful place to grow. From April 20 through April 24, we’re calling on the entire industry to jump in and make some noise. Follow the daily themes, share your stories, shout out your teams and nominate the standout professionals who keep our communities thriving. And with the RPM Careers Week Toolkit, participating has never been easier.

Every post, every nomination, and every moment of recognition fuels our mission to attract new talent, strengthen our workforce and remind RPM professionals just how essential—and appreciated—they truly are. This is your week to celebrate, elevate and amplify the incredible people behind the properties.
