Robert Y. Walker, IV, the current chief accounting officer of Aimco and the Managing General Partner will become the chief financial officer for conventional property operations, in a dual reporting relationship to Jeff Adler, Executive Vice President – Conventional Property Operations and to Mr. Herzog.  Until Mr. Fordham’s start date, Mr. Walker will continue to serve as chief accounting officer of Aimco and the Managing General Partner.  Mr. Walker has served as chief accounting officer of Aimco and the Managing General Partner since August 2005, and was promoted from senior vice president to executive vice president in July 2006.
