Networking ROI
By Leil Koch, CCIM |
What is
the value of your professional network? When asked this question, I imagine
most CCIM members would respond in a word: priceless. As a member of the CCIM
Institute, you have a number of valuable opportunities to help you grow and
reap the benefits of a strong professional network.
