Any professional, age 35 and under, involved in the field of commercial real estate is eligible to participate in the Developing Leader program.

Total dues vary and are based on the chapter you are joining and may also depend on the number of individuals from your firm who are joining or have joined.

 NAIOP membership is based on the calendar year. Depending on when you join, the dues for your second year of membership may be prorated in order to get you on NAIOP’s calendar year basis of membership.

Documents such as a birth certificate, passport or driver's license are common IDs used for Developing Leader age verification. A copy of one of these documents should be faxed to Membership Services at 703-904-7942. Once age is verified, NAIOP destroys the document. NAIOP does NOT keep a copy of the document on file.

NAIOP's online dues calculator is programmed to automatically select the best dues rate for you when you fill out the application. If your company already has at least three members in your chapter, the best dues rate for you is a corporate affiliate membership.

Note: Massachusetts requires one full and four (4) affiliate members before the Chapter-Based Corporate Membership is granted to the fifth member. 

Absolutely! Since you are 35 or younger, you are immediately eligible to take advantage to all of the membership benefits designed for our Developing Leaders.

All chapters are encouraged to start a Developing Leader group. Often, all that is needed to get it off the ground is a small group of dedicated individuals. NAIOP has compiled a number of resources to assist in starting a Developing Leader group in your chapter. For additional information, please contact Marc Selvitelli at selvitelli@naiop.org.

Although we have an extensive network of chapters across the United States and Canada, you may find yourself too far from the nearest chapter. You can still join NAIOP as a Developing Leader. You chapter affiliation is simply listed as a Member-at-Large. This allows you access to all of the Developing Leader benefits offered on the Corporate level!
