During his time. there Dustin developed processes, tools and teams that protected the client’s investments and interests. Evaluating each decision from the perspective of an owner or a resident is a staple of Dustin’s approach to management.

Steve is the Licensed broker for New Leaf Properties. He has been managing residential investment properties for private investors since the late 1980s. After two decades of leading a successful property management company outside Alberta, he moved to Calgary in 2010. It was here that he began working as a regional property manager for two international property management companies, both responsible for large residential portfolios across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. Steve is accredited through the Real Estate Institute of Canada (REIC) and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and is a past Calgary Chair of the Institute of Real Estate Management.

Una has been with ACMA for over fifteen years and holds both the both ACM and RCM designations sponsored by ACMA and NACM. With these and other qualifications, she joined the board a few years ago to contribute to the ongoing work that the industry changes will require. In a career filled with almost every type of real estate management that includes two decades of condominium management, she has served and protected a large self-managed complex. Una has been fortunate to be part of the stakeholder committees to provide invaluable feedback to Service Alberta and RECA over the past few tumultuous years in our industry. Una believes that owners in the self-managed condominium sector in the province may not receive the knowledge that has been promoted to the management companies. She would like to explore how ACMA can also support these with the same benefits they should have from our industry and this organization.
