🌟 Leadership Spotlight: Stacy Ekholm 🌟

From starting as a Leasing Agent at 18 to now serving as Vice President of Operations at Schafer Richardson, Stacy’s 25+ year journey in multi-housing is nothing short of inspiring. Her career has weathered industry-shaping events, such as Y2K, the 2008 crash, COVID, and more, yet her leadership philosophy has remained constant: it’s always about relationships.

Stacy reminds us that leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but about surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, listening deeply, and always being ready to learn. She believes in investing in people, creating strong cultures, and building networks that last a lifetime.

We are proud to feature Stacy as a true example of what leadership looks like in the multi-housing industry. Thank you, Stacy, for your impact, your mentorship, and your commitment to growing our communities.

Good leaders are burning out. Not because they’re failing, but because they’re doing everything.

📉 Smaller teams.
📈 Bigger expectations.
⏳ Less time.

And still… you show up. Every day.

But here’s the thing: Today’s problems need new tools.

Leader Connex exists to support the leaders who are in it and ready to lead with strategy, not just survival mode.

Let’s lead better, together.

⚾ Team Outing at Target Field!

What a blast it was spending Tuesday, June 24 at the Twins game together — even if the Twins didn’t quite pull off the win!

Having John Ingram in town from Texas made the day even more special, and it was the perfect chance for some meaningful team bonding. We especially enjoyed getting to know our newer team members better — Nick Peterson, our Executive Administrative Assistant, and Jackson Rusnacko, our Recruiting Intern!

Big thanks to everyone who made it such a fun and memorable day. 💙❤️
