Associa Minnesota Earns Top Honors at the CAI Vision Awards

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa Minnesota had 14 nominees recognized at the Community Associations Institute (CAI) 2016 Vision Awards and took home two of the biggest awards of the night. The Vision Awards, held September 22 at the International Market Square in Minneapolis, Minnesota, highlight the best-of-the-best association managers and the communities they represent.   

Six Associa Minnesota managers out of its 12 individual nominees became finalists along with two communities, managed by Associa Minnesota, which were named Association of the Year finalists.

Hannah Zornes won the Above & Beyond Award. This award is presented to someone who has performed tasks, services or humanitarian efforts above and beyond a typical job description.  Zornes is a specialist for developing communities and has assisted with more than 32 developer properties, increasing the homeowner and developer relationship while improving client relations. Developers and homeowners both are pleased with her timely responses, knowledge of the community and friendliness.

Stonemill Farms, proudly managed by Associa Minnesota, was named Association of the Year. The Association of the Year Award recognizes the outstanding team effort of an association board and homeowners that puts the community's interests ahead of and above all personal agendas. They host numerous neighborhood events throughout the year ranging from a 5K for charity to outdoor movie nights at the community center.

"We're extremely proud about the number of nominees we had this year and especially excited for Hannah and our friends at Stonemill Farms," says Associa Minnesota President Lance Govang. "Hannah has truly transformed our developing communities division and the folks at Stonemill Farms had the dedication to see their vision become a reality."
