Industry Leaders Share Insight. At the APARTMENT FINANCE TODAY Conference recently in Phoenix, we gathered our Editorial Advisory Board members as well as some special guests to discuss the challenges that are ahead for the multifamily industry for the remainder of 2008 as well as what opportunities are out there.

We’re sharing highlights of that conversation with you here as well as in the June issue. We hope you find this information useful when planning for the rest of the year.

APARTMENT FINANCE TODAY also wants to hear your take on the multifamily market and how you’re handling the economic challenges. Please send letters to the editor to cserlin@hanleywood.com. Letters should be 250 words or less and may be edited for length. If you’re a multifamily CFO, APARTMENT FINANCE TODAY wants to hear your views for a special feature on strategies in the September issue. For more information, please e-mail Senior Editor Jerry Ascierto at jascierto@hanleywood.com.
