PTAA serves a 12-county area surrounding Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. A nonprofit trade organization, PTAA is composed of apartment owners, management firms, and suppliers. The organization exists primarily for the benefit of the apartment owners. PTAA is dedicated to promoting professionalism through member education and active participation in local, state and national legislative issues affecting the multifamily housing industry.
The PTAA mission is vitally important to every member, especially now, as our industry faces increased governmental regulation at all levels, increased competition, and diminishing profitability industry-wide.
PTAA has much to offer those who are involved with the multifamily housing industry. We encourage you to actively participate in your trade association.
PTAA was founded in early 1980 by a group of eleven apartment owners and management firms. Their purpose was to provide the apartment industry with an association that could unite them under one name, offering continuing education for their personnel and give related service groups the opportunity to become involved. These three factors became the foundation of the present association. (See our 35th Anniversary video here!)
The six original counties were: Guilford, Forsyth, Randolph, Alamance, Rockingham and Davidson. In February 1998, the AANC approved the addition of the following six counties: Caswell, Davie, Montgomery, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin.
