AAMD

What AAMD does

AAMD (Apartment Association of Metro Denver) is a 501(c)(6)-style nonprofit trade association founded in 1968, serving the multifamily housing industry across Metro Denver's six counties (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder/Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson). The organization represents 450 owner and management companies operating 2,279 communities containing 326,425 apartment homes, alongside 627 supplier partners. Its functional mission is to advance member profitability through four pillars: legislative advocacy at state and local levels, professional education and certification, market intelligence through proprietary research, and peer/supplier networking.

The association operates a Novi AMS-powered digital platform (aamdhq.org) that serves as the member portal, e-commerce store, event registration system, and member directory. Core products include the Vacancy & Rent Survey (a longitudinal rental market study covering 248,812 apartment homes across 31 submarkets), the New Construction Report, the annual Compensation Report, the Legal Handbook authored by external counsel, and credentialing programs aligned with the National Apartment Association (CAM, CAMT, CAPS, CPO). The organization also embeds Intellirent-powered tenant screening with TransUnion credit data via single sign-on, layering a transactional service onto the membership base.

Revenue is generated through a diversified, predominantly recurring stack: annual company-based membership dues from owners/management companies and supplier partners; event registrations and tiered sponsorships (Bronze through Platinum at $995 to $3,850); education programs including the new Class Pass subscription ($495/property through 2027); unit-priced publications and database exports; digital advertising packages ($365-$3,750 annually); and $40 tenant screening application fees. Marketing is driven through the website, a quarterly Apartment Trends Magazine, email communications, social media, and signature annual events (June Awards, Golf Series, Clay Shoot Classic) that collectively draw over 10,000 multifamily professionals. The association is affiliated with the Colorado Apartment Association (CAA) at the state level and the National Apartment Association (NAA) at the national level.
