I am pleased to be able to serve as NAIOP-Colorado's 2009 President. Our Chapter represents a significant and diverse constituency of over 700 members engaged in and committed to the commercial real estate industry. We continue to grow our membership base and are proud to currently be the 4th largest chapter of the 58 in the country. Both this year and over the past many years, our Chapter has received national recognition for the quality of our programs, active involvement of our members, and our legislative impact at the state house. This recognition is a product of the engaged and committed membership base we are fortunate to have in Colorado. During the past year, our Corporate NAIOP Office in Washington, D.C. did away with the acronym for which our organization previously stood. NAIOP became a name for our local and national organization and we are now known as the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. Though this is a challenging time for our industry, now more than ever NAIOP-Colorado is committed to being there for its members. As the Commercial Real Estate Development Association we are committed to providing all the value we possibly can to our members. This includes: 1) local and national networking opportunities on an ongoing basis, 2) educational programs and series, 3) philanthropic activities in which we contribute back to our communities in an effort to enhance the caliber of these places we call home, and 4) a legislative initiative aimed at being the primary and most effective voice in both local and regional governmental affairs, as well as nationally. This key legislative process is geared at first protecting and second promoting our commercial real estate businesses and industry. Both our Chapter leadership and our professional staff are there to ensure you get as much benefit and value from your involvement in NAIOP-Colorado as possible. The success of our Chapter is driven by our members. It is absolutely true that you will get out of it what you put into it. So, get involved and get engaged in a meaningful and contributing manner. Involvement on a specific committee typically represents the best avenue for involvement in the Chapter. Let us know where your interests lie and we'll work to align you accordingly. Through this process, I am certain that you will find far more worth in your membership. We look forward to your becoming a member and being an active contributor to NAIOP-Colorado's future. There exists no better opportunity to connect with and become associated with the local and regional commercial real estate industry and its leaders than through our Chapter. We look forward to seeing you! Sincerely, |
