OCTOBER 2016 21 THE JOURNAL Over 100 community owners from 15 states are expected at this year's Southeast Commu- nity Owners Symposium, along many other representatives of our industry, many state execs, vendors, and at least four Community Series display homes. Presentations and panel discussions will complement two days of net- working. SECO is a non-profit organization ex- clusively serving the needs of community owners. All aspects of our program are planned by, and for, community owners. All commu- nity owners and community management per- sonnel are invited. Who should attend? Anyone that owns or has an interest in the health and operation of manufactured home communities. Programming is focused on tactics that can benefit those owning 1 – 100 commu- nities. This would certainly include the owners and investors, but also be beneficial for general managers and managers. The networking op- portunity with owners/operators will be benefi- cial for lenders, suppliers, home manufacturers and corporate property managers as well. But there is no mistake – this is a gathering directed by community owners for community owners. We are in this together and everyone has some- thing important to share. Community Owners in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Car- olina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida – you should attend. • Hear the Good, the Bad & the Ugly from Fellow Community Owners • Explore New Ways to Run Your Commu- nity • Acquire the Knowledge to Better Your Bottom-line • Get Tips from the Experts – Steps to Be- coming More Efficient • New Ways to Finance • Walk Through Affordable Homes & Talk with Manufacturers • Share Ideas and Best Practices to Ensure Greater Success. • Network with Fellow Community Owners and Managers. Last year there were 175 attendees from 15 different states. Companies came as far away as California, Texas and New York. There were 4 display Manufactured Homes, 22 vendors and 28 sponsors. This year there will be a FREE Plant Tour at the new Legacy Plant near At- lanta. Transport and lunch will be provided. This year the SECO16 Focus is "Filling Vacant Lots in Communities by Selling or Seller-Fi- nancing New Manufactured Homes" and "Suc- cessfully Marketing & Selling Homes in the Digital Age.
