NMHC’s political action committee, NMHC PAC, supports the apartment industry’s legislative goals, educates Congress about multifamily housing issues and encourages participation in the political process. • NMHC PAC Receipts and Disbursements (Staff: Cindy Chetti and Kenny Emson). In 2013, 1,872 employees from 186 NMHC member firms and NMHC staff have contributed $1,360,982 to NMHC PAC and the Smarter Living Fund. In 2012, the year-end total for NMHC PAC fundraising was $1,142,724 from 1,816 employees of 149 NMHC member firms and NMHC staff. Employees of the following firms have contributed $10,000 or more last year: Alliance Residential Company; Allied Realty/Orion Real Estate Services; American Campus Communities; AMLI Residential Properties, L.P.; ARA; AUM; AvalonBay Communities, Inc.; BRE Properties, Inc.; The Bozzuto Group; Bridge Investment Group Partners, LLC; Camden Property Trust; Campus Apartments; CBRE; Cushman & Wakefield; Education Realty Trust, Inc.; Equity Residential; Gables Residential; GID Investment Advisers LLC; Greystone Servicing Corporation, Inc.; Hendricks-Berkadia; Heritage Title Company of Austin, Inc.; HFF; Holland Partner Group; Home Properties, Inc.; Lincoln Property Company; Marcus & Millichap/Institutional Property Advisors (IPA); Moran & Company; NALS Apartment Homes; National Multifamily Housing Council; NorthMarq/AmeriSphere; Post Properties, Inc.; RealPage, Inc.; Riverstone Residential Group; Rose Associates, Inc.; SARES*REGIS Group; Trammell Crow Residential; TriBridge Residential LLC; UDR, Inc.; Village Green Companies; Walker & Dunlop; Waterton Associates, L.L.C.; and Wood Partners, LLC. The top five firms for employee contributions to NMHC PAC in 2013 were Marcus & Millichap/Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) ($101,489), Equity Residential ($70,824), CBRE ($55,450), BRE Properties, Inc. ($45,250), and Holland Partner Group ($43,750). In 2013, NMHC PAC contributed $1,162,500 to Congressional campaigns, leadership PACs and party committees. • NMHC PAC Co-Hosted Events (Staff: Cindy Chetti and Kenny Emson). A significant amount of NMHC PAC funds are used co-hosting real estate specific events allowing NMHC’s Government Affairs team to solidify relationships with the key lawmakers receiving our PAC dollars. In addition to events based in Washington, DC, NMHC PAC served as a co-host for events held by NMHC members in Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX and Seattle, WA. • NMHC PAC Participation (Staff: Cindy Chetti and Kenny Emson). In order to reach our ambitious goals last year, the PAC Committee focused on increasing participation among two key segments of our membership: our Board of Directors firms and Emerging Leaders. In 2012, participation among our Board of Director member firms stood at just 35% and there was no targeted outreach for the Emerging Leaders. Thanks to the Committee’s expansion and determined educational campaign efforts, participation among our Board of Director firms has increased to 55.9% and Emerging Leaders contributed more than $64,000 in NMHC PAC and Smarter Living Fund receipts. • NMHC PAC Prior Authorization Campaign (Staff: Cindy Chetti and Kenny Emson). Federal law requires member firms of NMHC to sign a Prior Authorization Form in order for the executive or administrative personnel of the firm to receive NMHC PAC information and/or be legally solicited for voluntary NMHC PAC contributions (individual members do not need to sign Prior Authorization forms.) Member firms can only grant prior authorization to one trade association per year. Prior Authorization is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. NMHC PAC only solicits NMHC’s lead and alternate contacts at the member firm that submit a Prior Authorization Form to NMHC. Signed Prior Authorization forms allow us to communicate with more member firms about the impact NMHC PAC has on the industry’s future. Therefore, NMHC will initiate a campaign in 2014 to educate more firms about Prior Authorization and obtain more signed forms. NMHC PAC will only directly solicit designated lead and alternates of NMHC member firms. • 2014 NMHC Political Action Committee (PAC) Leadership (Staff: Cindy Chetti and Kenny Emson). Peter Donovan, Senior Managing Director of CBRE will serve as the 2013 NMHC PAC Chairman. Bob DeWitt, Vice Chairman, President and CEO of GID Investments Advisors, LLC will serve as Vice Chair.

David Neithercut, President and CEO of Equity Residential, Andrea Massey, Senior Vice President of RealPage, Inc., Connie Moore, formerly of BRE Properties, and Walt Smith, formerly of Riverstone Residential Group, will be rotating off the committee with our gratitude for their service during our record breaking year.
