Regency’s Hammett awarded CMA designation

Evansville, Indiana: Regency Properties, announced today that Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Accounting and Finance, Kevin Hammett, CPA, has been awarded the designation of Certified Management Accountant (“CMA”).

We are very pleased to have an officer of his high caliber as a member of the leadership team here at Regency Properties."
