Some of the biggest wins—and biggest threats—in property management don’t happen in the office. They happen in the halls of government, in professional associations, and in the relationships you build along the way.

In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, host Pablo Gonzalez sits down with Lacy Hendricks, Director of Marketing & Broker Associate REALTOR® at Hendricks Property Management LLC, to talk about why getting involved is the key to future-proofing your business. From leading NARPM’s governmental affairs efforts to shaping local policy in Texas, Lacy shares how stepping up has transformed her career, her company, and her impact on the industry.

They explore:
✅ Why advocacy is the hidden battlefield of property management—and why ignoring it is a risk.
✅ How getting involved in organizations like NARPM unlocks new opportunities, skills, and networks.
✅ The importance of bridging the gap between landlords, tenants, and policymakers.
✅ How property managers can prepare for the massive industry shifts ahead.

If you’ve ever thought, I don’t have time for this, this episode will change your mind. The future belongs to those who show up.

🔗 Listen now and learn why stepping up isn’t optional—it’s the best investment you can make.
