"Equity Office Properties is contributing to the Common Cents Fund to give our customers a unified voice in the issues that impact their ability to do business and their quality of life. We have seen the success of this program through our company's participation in the Penny Per Square Foot program in Minnesota. That experience shows that a relatively small contribution from all of our members can have a significant impact."
  Kim Koehn
  2004 NAIOP Colorado President
  Senior Vice President, Equity Office Properties Trust

  Jim Lavan
  Director of Real Estate, Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA)

"NAIOP National applauds the Colorado Chapter's public policy initiative, the Common Cents Fund, and is pleased to support the program in every way we can. The establishment of the CCF as a voluntary funding mechanism is an innovative way to raise money to support the issues that affect the commercial real estate industry, rather than the large, mandatory local dues imposed by some NAIOP chapters."

  Member - NAIOP New Jersey Chapter

"The Penny Per Square Foot Fund in Minnesota is our chapter's most important and successful program. As a property owner committed to the needs of our tenants, the PPSF provides a vehicle to represent our common interests. Our customers ultimately pay the taxes and bear the costs of development.

Tenants and property owners are very receptive to the program. I encourage every member of NAIOP Colorado to participate in this worthy program."
  Charlotte Johnson
  Director of Legislative Affairs, NAIOP Minnesota Chapter

"The Common Cents Fund is a critically important element in NAIOP's ability to represent the interests of the commercial real estate industry in Colorado. We contribute to the Fund because it provides a strong voice for property owners and their customers to encourage dialogue on the issues that affect all of us - growth, affordable housing, transportation, economic development and property taxes."
