About Barb Dunn
I am an accomplished investor with a passion for empowering the communities where I live. I am a member of Owners Club and a part owner in Prop.ai and Creative Title and Escrow. As a former NCAA skier, I combined my love for skiing with philanthropy as the founder of a free learn-to-ski program for marginalized children. In addition I am a successful multifamily property owner and the founder of a 26 year old property management business. I often see the needs of others in my community that should be filled, and strive to build programs and support to fill those gaps.
