Being a member of NAIOP allows you to develop new business relationships, solidify deals, and share experiences with colleagues who are among the industry's top professionals. You will have the opportunity to network and develop relationships with more than 14,000+ members in 53 chapters across North America. From national education conferences to participation in a National Forum or committee to local chapter luncheons, golf tournaments or bus tours, members are offered countless opportunities to get to know their fellow members and build their business.
Along with their national membership, NAIOP members simultaneously belong to one of our 53 chapters located in North America. Within each chapter, members have increased opportunity to attend educational programs, network with fellow members and participate in legislative affairs efforts.
Chapters have local leadership and committees that organize events and spearhead local legislative actions, including state capital visits and community involvement. Other events typically include property tours, education seminars and golf tournaments. In addition, to maintain ties with the National NAIOP leadership, each chapter nominates one representative to serve on the national board of directors.
A complete directory of NAIOP’s chapter network is available in the Chapters section of the NAIOP Web site.
The Membership Directory now online and updated daily is a great way to network with fellow NAIOP Members. You can search the Member Directory to locate a Member or find a service partner.
