A New Way to Experience 
the Circle of Excellence

This year, the Circle of Excellence Awards is breaking from tradition and bringing you an entirely new way to experience the evening.

Instead of the traditional sit-down dinner, attendees will enjoy an extended cocktail experience featuring a cash open bar and an elevated selection of bites before taking their seats for the main event. Then, the curtain rises on a Broadway-inspired awards show, bringing nominees, winners, presenters and sponsors into the spotlight in a whole new way.

Following the awards show, the celebration continues with dinner and dessert stations, a cash open bar and musical entertainment, giving you the opportunity to mingle, celebrate and enjoy the evening.

This isn't the Circle of Excellence as you've experienced it before, it's a night designed to feel more like a show, a celebration and a Broadway
production all in one. 

Packages are now available for members interested in showcasing their support and services! This will be a perfect opportunity for companies to gain significant brand recognition.

To see the opportunities and benefits, browse our Prospectus here.  Additionally, for availability of how many remain at each level or if you wish to lock anything in, please fill out our Commitment Form.

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.
