Meet IREM's New President
Sunrise Management CEO Joe Greenblatt performed the last official duty of his IREM presidency during the associations's Fall Leadership Conference in Orlando, where he passed the gavel to Eugene Burger Management Corp SVP Lori Burger, who steps up as IREM’s 78th president since its founding in 1933. Joining her for her inauguration were family, friends, and colleagues, including son Thomas and daughter Danielle, who took turns sharing childhood recollections of her efforts to balance the weighty responsibilities of motherhood with the demands of a full-time property management career.
Do we see a future property manager in Lori’s arms? Not only is Lex’s grandmother in the industry, but the five-year-old’s great-grandfather Gene Burger (aka Lori’s father-in-law and founder of the eponymous firm) served as IREM president in 1981. Gene is still at the helm as CEO and chairman of EBMC, where son Stephen (Lori’s husband) is president and COO.
