Professional Community Management of California, Inc. (PCM) announced July 26 that Sydney Young, General Manager of Sun City Mesquite was awarded the prestigious Professional Community Association Manager® (PCAM®) designation by the Community Associations Institute.

"The PCAM® is hard-earned, and out of approximately 60,000 professional managers across the nation, only 2,200 have earned this designation," said Randy Watkins, vice president of PCM Nevada. "With Sydney's achievement, 75 percent of PCM Nevada community managers are PCAM® designees."

When not managing Sun City Mesquite, Young enjoys playing a few rounds of golf with her husband, Kent, a former Marine. They are both involved in many aspects of the local community including the new Mesquite Veteran’s Center, for which Young and her Sun City Crew raised more than $50,000 towards the construction.

"Sydney joins an elite group in our industry and has demonstrated her expertise and experience," said Donny Disbro, chief executive officer of PCM. "But what it really comes down to is that Sydney cares about her community and homeowners. Her dedication is reflected by this enormous accomplishment and we're so proud that she is part of the PCM family."
