She wants listeners to get in on the conversation and introduces polls on a few hot topics. She discusses finalizing budget approvals for 2024, and reflects on the challenges and highlights of the past year. Emphasizing the importance of working smarter in reporting processes and saving time, she also explores the idea of increased productivity with hiring a personal driver. Melanie shares insights of the last 12 months, focusing on intentional efforts and strategies to streamline her responsibilities and be more present. The EmpowHER conference is touched on as Melanie and Leslie look back at the big event. Her plans for the next year take center stage as she outlines strategies for team success in navigating upcoming challenges. This episode offers interesting insights into leadership, strategic planning, and personal growth.

Melanie Whitlock is a native of Hemingway, SC and moved to Charleston, SC in 2007 to attend Charleston Southern University to obtain a bachelor's degree in education. She started her career at CSU in college housing and then moved to Rome, GA to become the Assistant Dean of Students at Shorter University, where she also obtained a Master of Arts in Leadership. Life brought Melanie back to Charleston in 2016 where she started in the property management industry as a leasing professional. She quickly moved up to community manager in the Daniel Island market. Shortly after she was promoted to Regional Property Manager to oversee the Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Greenville markets. She has worked for clients including Woodfield Development, MetLife, Prudential, Johnson Development Associates, Orange Capital, The Beach Company and Collins Group. Her primary focuses are centered around operational excellence and streamlined communication with third party property management groups.

Melanie and her husband Drew (who also builds apartments for a living), currently reside in Hemingway on her family farm. In her spare time, she loves to spend time with her family, boating, playing the piano and singing for her church and of course shopping.
