What do you believe are Leadership Award winner Amie Hacker’s greatest achievements?
“True leadership is inspiring and helping individuals reach their potential while assuring the organization achieves its goals.

Her career started with a successful repo business that led to more successful retail, community, and insurance businesses. Along the way she learned each aspect of the manufactured housing business while forming strong relationships. Fighting unfair zoning issues became a specialty. She makes each organization better while inspiring and encouraging individuals.
