Committee:

Human Resources Workgroup

Duties:

  • Work with staff to establish and finalize spring and fall business meeting agendas
  • Each October, the Workgroup will review and update a three–year Manpower Plan, which delineates the number of instructors needed to adequately staff the number of courses anticipated to be held over the succeeding three–year period. As part of this review, the Workgroup will also determine the skill sets needed to appropriately staff the entire instructor cadre.
  • Based on this review, the Workgroup will make recommendations as to whether to conduct recruitment drives for new instructors or whether the cadre should be downsized.
  • Twice a year, during the Institute's business meetings, the Workgroup will conduct a performance review of 1/4th of the instructor cadre. Also, in the interests of maintaining a well–rounded instructor cadre, the CCIM Institute will attempt to rotate a percentage of the faculty off the cadre on an annual basis (the appropriate percentage to be determined each year by the Faculty Subcommittee). The percentage to be rotated off the cadre – if any – in any given year will be determined by the needs of the program by course and instructor performance levels in those courses affected. The criteria shown in Exhibit G in the policy manual will be used to review each instructor.
  • In addition to regular monitoring through Faculty Liaisons, the Human Resources Workgroup will manage the process of third–party monitoring of instructor performance on an as–needed basis. Third–party monitoring will be done by knowledgeable individuals who will attend selected course presentations and submit written reports of instructor performance.
  • Any recommendations for changes in status resulting from these reviews will be made to the Faculty Subcommittee for appropriate action.
  • Using the performance standards/weighting shown in Item XV.B.3, instructors being reviewed will be assigned scores based on a ten–point scale (see Exhibit G). Any instructor whose score falls below 8.0 will automatically be put on a Watch List. Instructors placed on the Watch List will be informed of this action by their Liaison, and either the Chairman of the Faculty Subcommittee or the Chairman of the Human Resources Workgroup, either in person or via conference call. At the same time, they will be counseled as to the reasons they were put on the List and how they might improve their performance to the point where they can be removed from it. All instructors on the Watch List are reviewed at every meeting of the Workgroup, where their performance can be evaluated on an on–going basis. Among suggestions for methods of improvement is to tape at least one of their teaching performances for review and critique by the Faculty Consultant (at their own expense) and to take advantage of whatever other training opportunities or tools may be available.
  • If a recommendation is made and approved by the Faculty Subcommittee for an instructor to be removed from the Approved Contractor List, that instructor should be appropriately recognized for their contributions to the CCIM Institute's educational program and, further, strongly encouraged to maintain their involvement in the CCIM Institute and its programs.
  • When a recommendation for removal of an instructor from the Approved Contractor List is approved by the Faculty Subcommittee, he/she will be informed –– in person if at all possible –– by the Chairman of the Faculty Subcommittee and his/her Liaison at the earliest possible moment.
  • If an instructor wishes to appeal the decision to terminate his/her services from the cadre, he/she has the right to appeal directly to the Faculty Subcommittee. Appeals must be made to the Subcommittee within six months. Upon receipt of an appeal request, a date and time will be set at the next scheduled meeting. (See policy manual for procedure info)
  • Responsibility for gathering all pertinent data from all sources on instructor performance will rest with the staff.

Deal Makers

Terry Moore, CCIM, of ACI Apartments in San Diego reached out to Robert Vallera, CCIM, of Grubb & Ellis in San Diego when seeking a buyer for a 10-unit San Diego apartment building on behalf of a private seller. “I knew that Robert, as a fellow CCIM, understood what made the transaction special,” Moore says. “Having a proven broker on the other side was a deciding factor when there were multiple buyers at the table.” Their connection helped Moore and Vallera close the more than $1.1 million sale to a private family trust. “My CCIM training helps me solve problems I couldn’t even articulate before I completed the program,” Moore adds. “I knew Robert could speak the same language.”
