The Chicagoland Apartment Association (CAA) recently named Michael J. Mini as its new executive vice president, succeeding the recently retired Judith A. Roettig.

“We are excited that Mike has joined CAA as our new staff leader. He is truly an exceptional choice to head CAA as we attempt to grow our advocacy efforts for apartment owners and managers in the Chicagoland area,” Chief Operating Officer of Waterton Residential, LLC and CAA Board President Greg Lozniak said.

Prior to joining CAA, Mr. Mini received his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He began his career in real estate as a legislative analyst at the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) in Chicago.

Later on, he served as the Vice President of Public Policy for the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Mini has an extensive background in policy formulation, lobbying at both the local and state levels, government relations, issue analysis and advocacy.

“I am honored to be named the new CAA Executive Vice President,” Mr. Mini said. “I have worked in coalition with CAA in the past on public policy issues and I have a great deal of respect for the organization, leadership and staff.”
