Whether you’re a Camden resident, have a friend or family member that works for Camden, if you are one of our vendors, or maybe just heard of Camden through the internet, I believe it’s important to know the company behind the name.

Camden is a well-known multifamily housing company that provides homes to families across the country. Camden has also been named FORTUNE® Magazine "100 Best Companies to Work For" for 7 years in a row ranking at number 11.

Camden’s culture lies in the heart of the company and every year our company has their annual ACE Awards to celebrate the accomplishments of each of our communities, and reflect on another great year with our Camden family. Each city gathers together with all of the Camden communities from that area to celebrate!

I’m sure you're wondering what “ACE” stands for! ACE is our hummingbird mascot, and ACE stands for “Achieving Camden Excellence”. We truly strive to provide all of our customers with Living Excellence. Each year we have a theme of the awards, and when you work for Camden, themes are not taken lightly.

This year’s theme was “Big Top Camden", The Best REIT on Earth”. Our company turned this theme into a circus theme, with a balloon filled room, popcorn, peanuts, costumes of the fire breather, the ringmaster, strong man, two-headed woman, and many more! Each community builds a centerpiece to go with theme, and we can dress up as well. The awards vary from rent opportunity, NOI growth, resident retention, customer service, safety award, and many more. Our company also recognizes employees for the “ACE Award.” Employees are nominated by their co-workers for being an outstanding and dedicated team member who provides above and beyond customer service. Our ACE Awards winners truly deserve the award and many tears and hugs are shared while listening to their co-workers heartwarming words about them.  

One of Camden’s values is “Have Fun”, and the ACE Awards is our chance to have fun together and celebrate another year of providing living excellence to all of our customers. We dance, sing, clap, eat, and embrace what an amazing company we work for. It’s a great bonding experience. Either our President or CEO, or sometimes both, go to each and every ACE Awards all over the country to thank their employees in person for all their hard work. Not only is Camden a great place to live, it is a great place to work! Next time you are looking for a great place to live, also consider the company behind the scenes.
