Denver, CO, March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apartment Income REIT Corp., known as AIR Communities, is pleased to announce that Patti Shwayder, formerly Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, has been promoted to Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer.

In her 18-year career with AIR Communities, Patti Shwayder has spearheaded the companys work with elected officials, government and community partners, redevelopment zoning and entitlement efforts nationwide, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, and developing and directing the companys philanthropic programs.

As an effective national leader, Patti is immensely respected within our industry, in Congress, and in state capitals and city halls across the nation, said Terry Considine, AIRs Chief Executive Officer. She is a champion of our business with elected officials, she speaks regularly with our shareholders, and her extensive experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors makes her the right leader to guide our efforts in this area.

I am proud to expand on our commitment to corporate responsibility, said Ms. Shwayder. We seek continuous improvement in our efforts and simultaneously deliver an exceptional living experience to our residents, while being a good environmental steward and community partner.
