•OnlineFirst Friday Office Hours with Executive Director Doug Quattrochi - Fri Nov 7th
OnlineWe'll be having open office hours about any rental real estate topics you may care to bring. You can also ask about MassLandlords services or share feedback.
We will not address questions in private. We will have a group discussion about topics of interest to attendees. Questions will be answered at Doug's discretion and as time allows.
Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

MWPOA Dinner Meeting: Property Management Best Practices - Tue Nov 11th
Marlborough Fish and Game Association, 1 Muddy Ln, Marlborough, MA, USPresented by Chris Chadzynski, Owner / Northeast Realty + Co.
Landlords have many responsibilities when it comes to maintaining their properties. Many find it challenging to keep up with every aspect of property management and consider outsourcing some or all of the work—from interviewing and screening tenants to maintaining the physical building and more. With over 15 years of experience, Chris and his team provide a comprehensive range of services and will discuss best practices and how they collaborate with landlords to ensure smooth, professional management.
Our meetings are "hybrid" meetings over both Zoom and in-person at the same time. Zoom participants may chat among themselves during the 5:30 to 6:20 time that the in-person group are having their networking and eating a buffet dinner.
NOTE: MWPOA Members must register for this meeting on the MassLandlords Website at this link: https://masslandlords.net/spotlight-event/2025-11-11-marlborough/. Non-MWPOA MassLandlords Members are welcome to also register at this link by purchasing a ticket located in the Public Column.
These are "hybrid" meetings both on Zoom and in person. When registering please click either the Zoom or In-Person orange button based on how you will be attending.
Please try to register by Monday, November 10th, 2025.
