Join us for this month's episode of Cinnaire's Advancing Communities Podcast, featuring the asset management series AM With A&M. Hosted by April Priebe and Miranda Bialk, this series dives into strategies, insights, and resources for professionals working in the field of asset management.

In the US, only 12% of asset or fund management positions are held by women, with less than 2% of teams being led by women. In this episode, April and Miranda invited the women at Cinnaire to discuss their experiences working in asset management.

Guests for this episode include:

Andrea Johnson, Asset Manager; Amy Pool, Compliance Specialist; Lora Brantley-Gilbert, VP of REO and Special Assets: Cassie Oracz, Asset Manager; Brooke Allen, Stabilized Asset Manager; Pam Darke, Stabilized Asset Manager; Jillian Wilson, Fund Analyst; Beth Baar, VP of Stabilized and Construction Assets; Karen Benson, Compliance Specialist; and Jen Wendtland, Fund Manager.

Tune in to hear:

• Challenges women have faced in the field
• Strategies they have implemented to overcome gender-biased situations;
• The benefits that come from having diversified professionals serving as property managers, asset managers, compliance specialists, inspectors and developers in a traditionally male-dominated industry;
• And support systems available, including the Michigan Women in Affordable Housing Network (WAHN) and inclusive employers like Cinnaire.
