Event Details
A Night on Broadway
The Circle of Excellence Awards is a premier celebration of excellence in the South Florida apartment industry; an evening dedicated to recognizing the communities, companies, and individuals who set the standard for success, innovation and service.
Each year, hundreds of industry professionals gather to honor the achievements that continue to shape one of the largest, fastest-growing, and most successful apartment markets in the nation. From exceptional on-site teams to visionary leaders and outstanding communities, the Circle of Excellence shines a spotlight on those making a lasting impact.
This year, the spotlight shines brighter than ever.

Moving beyond the traditional ballroom gala, this year's event will feature theater-style seating, immersive production elements and a show-driven format designed to make every presenter, nominee, winner and sponsor feel like a starring moment.
Whether you're submitting a nomination, cheering on a colleague or taking the stage as a winner, prepare for an unforgettable evening where the South Florida apartment industry becomes the star of the show.

What is PAC?
The purpose of a political action committee (PAC) is simple: to raise funds and elect candidates who understand and support our issues and interests.
Why Should I Get Involved?
The ability of apartment owners to continue to provide safe, affordable rental housing to our residents, and deliver valued services to them – while doing this effectively, efficiently, and profitably – rests on the continued financial strength of APAC and NAAPAC. Our involvement offers us a seat at the table, increased credibility and influence, and of course continued success within the industry.
