On top of being a very busy CEO and the president of TLHOA, Kari also sits on the Board of Directors for AAGLA (Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles), where she is the California Delegate to the National Apartment Association (NAA) and a frequent advocate in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
