1. Panther & PA – Selecting Panther and PA is not a preference out of compliancy, more so an opportunity to improve myself professional with the addition of PA. I have professional experience overseeing multiple buildings with one staff, so I am very confident in my ability to handle this merger.

At the end of the day, I believe Nordenberg’s similarities to Panther would allow me to continue to push the community to
