The Award of Excellence is a tribute to the outgoing NAIOP Colorado President, Tyler Carlson, and is a heartfelt thank you for his time and effort spent on behalf of the organization. In 2021, Tyler With his bold leadership style, Tyler challenged the Chapter's Board and Committee’s to advance the organizations efforts to emerge from the pandemic and to do so stronger and more confident. Under his leadership, the Chapter continued to provide world class networking, education, and public policy impacts. The Chapter's two premier events were held with tremendous success. The Real Estate Challenge was presented in a hybrid format and was the first major event with significant in-person attendance and the year was capped with the 2021 Fight Night event where over 500 people came out to support the highest number of Real Estate Ringers in the events history. Lastly, Tyler put a laser focus on Public Policy issues by attending meetings with City Council members, testifying at the legislature, and working with sister organizations to craft a response to the Denver Affordable Housing proposal. Thank you Tyler!
NAIOP Member of the Year - Jim Fitzmorris, JR Engineering
A NAIOP member since early 2021, Yvette has been a fixture on the DL Committee helping with the Public Policy Committee and Golf Tournament. While ever having addressed a legislative committee, it didn’t stop Yvette from volunteering to take part in the Chapter's efforts to influence the legislature on one of the biggest issues we faced in 2021. Arriving early and staying through the entire hearing to learn about both the issues and the process showed commitment and determination. Congrats Yvette!
