Vickie Gaskill, MPM®, CPM® is among a group of 72 women from the U.S. and abroad honored recently by the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM®) for their positive impact on the real estate management profession. Recognized for innovation, mentoring, community service, leadership and other laudable initiatives, Vickie and the other women identified range from senior officers of global real estate firms to self-employed entrepreneurs to site managers of single properties who are prized for the great work they do.“In big ways and small,” said IREM® 2012 President James A. Evans, CPM®, “women are changing the face of the real estate management industry daily. This was the impetus for IREM to identify Vickie and some other women who represent the absolute best of what our industry can accomplish.” All of their stories – as told by those that nominated them – are featured in the March/April issue of IREM’s member magazine, the Journal of Property Management (JPM®).
EXCERPT FROM THE JOURNAL OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
“Gaskill epitomizes women who work their way up the corporate ladder, often while dealing with serious personal and family health challenges, inspiring others in the process. She started as a bookkeeper in 1986 and within 16 years became owner of the company. ‘Vickie is always finding ways to improve her employees’ performance by implementing new and better ways to get the work completed efficiently.’ This has included converting to a paperless office, converting to energy-efficient lighting and initiating recycling programs. In 2010, Vickie served as National President for the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). She always encourages those in the profession to get their education, designations/certifications and grow. The IREM Western Washington Chapter 27 recognized Vickie in 2012 with its Lifetime Achievement Award."
