Golden ideas are around every corner…. your assignment is to identify and execute them at your chapter. Your chapter’s growth and success depends on it!
Join your fellow leaders from NAIOP’s United States and Canadian chapters for three days dedicated to professional development, education and sharing lessons learned in managing the many diverse aspects involved in successful chapter leadership.
You’ll gather enlightening industry, organizational and leadership perspectives by participating in one of the breakout sessions offering programs tailored to your specific chapter leadership role. You’ll also share ideas and innovative, educational programming with other NAIOP chapter leaders and key speakers as you network during event receptions, luncheons and breakfasts.

Get an up-close look at our nation’s political process and see how NAIOP lobbies to advance commercial real estate’s interests and keep on top of the many state and federal issues that affect our industry. Learn more about the political process directly from elected officials and NAIOP’s own government affairs staff, concluding with a visit to Capitol Hill and face-to-face meetings with your state’s elected officials.
Finally, join us as we recognize the extraordinary achievements of NAIOP chapters by honoring them with Chapter Merit Awards during a gala dinner and awards ceremony.
