“This scholarship program allows us to support and elevate emerging leaders who are passionate about shaping the future of commercial real estate,” said NAIOP President and CEO Marc Selvitelli, CAE. “Through our continued partnership with Prologis, we’re proud to provide these talented professionals with meaningful mentorship and education that will strengthen their careers and, ultimately, our entire CRE community.”

"We believe the future of commercial real estate depends on who has access to opportunity," said Megan Creecy Herman, president, West region, Prologis. "This program opens doors and helps young professionals build strong relationships and lasting careers. We’re proud to support the next generation of industry leaders."

“Prologis agrees that inclusively nurturing future leadership in CRE is essential for our industry” said Kim Snyder, executive director at Prologis and past NAIOP Chair. “Since 2018, Prologis and NAIOP have partnered on the Young Professional Scholarship, recognizing 123 scholarship recipients, and since inception, has brought 246 Prologis employees to I.CON conferences to serve as mentors.”

As part of the program, each of the recipients will have the opportunity to earn the NAIOP Certificate of Advanced Study in Commercial Real Estate Development, delivered through courses in NAIOP’s The Center for Education, at no cost. This comprehensive program is built on core competencies critical to success in the development industry. Scholarship recipients will be recognized at either I.CON West, March 3-4, 2026, in Los Angeles, or I.CON East, May 20-21, 2026, in Jersey City, New Jersey, where they will connect with industry mentors and hear insights from industrial real estate leaders from across North America.
