Capitol Hill Visits
2010 Capitol Hill Visit Program — May 4 - 5, 2010
Ensure your chapter is represented at the annual CCIM and IREM Capitol Hill Visit Day! On May 5, 2010, CCIM Institute members will join with IREM to bring the issues that affect the commercial real estate industry to Capitol Hill. An Orientation will be held at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, May 4, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Legislative staff from the CCIM Institute, IREM, and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) will review the issues affecting the industry and what to expect when meeting with members of Congress.
