Dear Members, Partners, and Friends,
It is with deep gratitude and humility that I step into the role of President of the Association of Strata Managers (ASM), following my appointment at the recent Annual General Meeting. I am mindful of the trust placed in me, and I wish to begin by acknowledging the steadfast leadership of my predecessors, both Mr Chan Kok Hong and Mr Teo Poh Siang, whose dedication and vision have brought ASM to where it stands today.
Since its founding in 2013, ASM has grown into a national voice for strata managers, representing more than 500 professionals and 25 managing agent firms, collectively serving over 1,000 Management Corporations across Singapore. Over the years, the Association has worked tirelessly to safeguard the interests of our members, strengthen professional standards, and provide a platform for learning and collaboration. Initiatives such as the Accreditation of Strata Managers programme in partnership with Singapore Polytechnic, as well as our conferences, seminars, and CPD training workshops, have elevated the professionalism and recognition of our industry.
I wish to pay tribute to the outgoing President and Committee for their unwavering commitment. To ensure continuity, the entire Committee has renewed their commitment for another term so as to continue our efforts in building strong relationships with government agencies, industry partners, and the wider community for ASM’s continued relevance and influence.
Looking ahead, my vision is to deepen our role as a trusted partner in Singapore’s built environment sector. This means:
- Strengthening professional development through enhanced training modules and learning opportunities for both new entrants and seasoned practitioners.
- Championing ethical and sustainable practices in strata management, ensuring that our estates/buildings remain safe, inclusive, and future-ready.
- Expanding collaboration with policymakers, educational institutions, and allied industries to address emerging challenges such as digital transformation, workforce development, competency gaps and the evolving needs of strata development owners/residents.
- Fostering community and care, recognizing that strata management is not only about buildings and infrastructure, but also about the people, messaging and relationships that make communities thrive.
As we embark on this next chapter, I invite all members to actively participate in shaping ASM’s journey. Your insights, experiences, and aspirations are vital in ensuring that our Association continues to grow in strength, credibility, and impact.
Together, let us build on the legacy of those who came before us, while embracing innovation and collaboration to meet the challenges of tomorrow. I look forward to working alongside each of you to advance the profession of strata management and to serve our communities with excellence, integrity and care.
Warmest regards,
Andrew Lioe
President
Association of Strata Managers
