Jeffrey Spector
Managing Director and Head of United States REITs
Thanks for joining our next roundtable session with Mid-America Apartments. Looking forward to hearing more about MAA’s strategic plans and positioning and Sunbelt markets. It’s been a hot topic. I think you guys had a very strong demand. So if there’s any insights from some of the meetings you’ve had, we could talk about that as well.
So I just want to introduce the company. Straight to my left, Clay Holder, EVP and CFO; to his left, Brad Hill, President and CEO; and then to his left, Andrew Schaeffer, SVP, Treasurer and Director of Capital Markets.
Same as the other roundtables, we want to make this as interactive as possible. I know it’s day 2 afternoon, but I know everyone’s had a lot of good questions incoming on MAA and then at the conference. So please participate. I will first turn it over, though, to Brad to introduce the company just in case there are some people in the room that maybe aren’t as familiar with MAA, your strategic plans, maybe a little bit. And then I think you did put out an operating update. So let’s go through that, and then we could get into Q&A. Thank you.
Brad Hill
CEO, President & Director
Well, thanks, Jeff. I appreciate the opportunity to be here. As Jeff said, I’ll give a brief update of who we are as a company, what our focus is and certainly go through the update a little bit here. MAA is an S&P 500
