Conference Attended

Igor Conev

OCEAN CITY — Igor Conev, vice president of Mann Properties Inc. of Ocean City, recently attended the Alliance of Community Association Managers for Executive Officers in Middleburg, Va.

The ACAM-CEO MindShare event is an annual educational, networking and leadership experienced organized and managed by peer community management company proprietors and senior executives.

Participants reviewed and discussed industry tools and services in such areas as risk management and crisis; financial, tax and law compliance; insurance and legal challenges; cyber security, and real-time solutions for condominium and HOA.

According to Conev, professional development is the single most important investment for any company. His theory is that even the most successful companies in the world must constantly endeavor to improve themselves. This is based on the idea that someone is always trying to be the best. As such, complacency is a guaranteed sentence of failure.

“The only way to ensure failure is to do nothing,” Conev said. “I have always been motivated to try anything and everything I can to get ahead. My management team and I are applying this idea to the company. We want to make sure our branding specialists are always working on new skills so that we can constantly improve the services we provide.”x
