The PCAM designation is the highest professional designation available nationwide to managers who specialize in community association management. Experienced managers who want to demonstrate advanced skills and knowledge and who wish to be recognized as one of the best and most experienced managers in the nation are encouraged to obtain this prestigious designation.

Her commitment to continuing education and her professional development is both an asset to Keystone Pacific and the communities under her management."

Welch began her career in property management as community association manager at Keystone Pacific Property Management in 2002.

As a district manager, Sari oversees, mentors and trains a team of community association managers and support staff. She also manages a portfolio of the firm's existing accounts throughout Orange County. Welch is an active member of the company's communications and outreach committees.

Welch has a bachelor's degree in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI and has obtained the Certified Community Association Manager (CCAM®) designation through the California Association of Community Managers.
