COURSE INFORMATION
– What’s in a Paint Can
– Legal Update presented by McCabe & Ronsman
– Successful Landscape Factors
This course is a very brief Horticulture 101 presentation on 5 key principles of landscape maintenance. The first section of the course discusses the importance of plant selection and growing adapted plant material. This is a very important section for property managers because the selection of plants for the landscape can have a significant effect on the long term health and sustainability of their landscapes. USDA climate zones are discussed along with microclimates that are present in the landscape and can vary significantly from one site to another. The presentation then discusses the importance of understanding soil type including both the physical and chemical properties of soil. This section also discusses plant nutrient needs, fertilization, and fertilizer ordinances. The third principle is plant maintenance including turf and ornamentals. This section provides information to the property managers regarding correct horticultural practices which allows them to properly monitor landscaping practices on the sites that they manage. Irrigation is discussed in the next section and focuses on irrigation system management along with the negative results of improper irrigation practices. The 5th and final principle is pest control. This section discusses what the correct procedures are for pest identification and treatment and the effects of those treatments on the environment.
Following this course, property managers will have a greater understanding of the basic horticultural practices that they should observe on the properties that they manage.
– Breaking Down the Bids
Asphalt Maintenance is a very complex issue property managers have to address in their day to day adventures. With numerous asphalt maintenance programs available, it is important that a property manager understand what they are working with on their properties before they begin accepting proposals. This course shows property managers how to evaluate their property’s needs, design a “Request for Proposal” (RFP)and then break down the bids to compare “apples to apples” once they are received. This class will give the manager confidence in working with their contractors with complex projects such as pavement repairs, areas of concerns and paving projects from start to finish!
Instructor: Connie Lorenz, President & Owner of Asphalt Restoration Technology Systems Inc., and a multi-year, multi-category, award-winning Top Contractor named by Pavement Maintenance and Reconstruction magazine.

In 2017, she received the prestigious Enterprising Women of the Year award, and in 2018 Pavement Magazine awarded her company its charitable contribution award for her work with Sunshine Foundation’s Dream Village. With more than 20 years in the asphalt industry, Lorenz holds a position on the National Pavement Expo Advisory Council and has become one of the top asphalt maintenance experts in the country, specializing in asphalt rejuvenation, maintenance, education, and consultation.
– Community Association Claims Management
Property Damage Claim & Hurricane Preparedness – Preparing for a storm or an unforeseen property loss is a commonly discussed topic BUT we delve into the claim management process in detail. Property managers will gain an understanding of how to best position their community to get the best outcome from a property damage situation.
Public Liability Claims – Guests and residence are unfortunately hurt on community owned property every day. Some allegations are false and others show negligence on the side of the association. We discuss how to best prepare and manage these incidents before, during and after they occur.
Directors and Officers Claims (Lawsuits) – this is a topic that is not commonly discussed but if you have ever been involved in one of these you know how much of a nightmare it can cause for the property manager and the community. We provide a recipe to keep in your arsenal in case one of these claims arise
Property Manager’s Game Plan for Claims Management – The property manager can be identified as the quarterback for claims that arise in the community but who should be the team members involved? We have designed a playbook that answers this question and provides a formula to properly manage any claim situation.
