CCIM: The Clear Choice
By Leil Koch, CCIM |
Credibility.
Community. Integrity. Membership. These four words are just a few of the
attributes shared by more than 13,000 CCIM members worldwide. This powerful
network of industry leaders is your pathway to more transactions, new
referrals, and better opportunities in 2013 and beyond. As the year comes to a
close, remember to renew your membership and position yourself for growth in
the new year.
CCIM
Institute has embarked on many new paths this year, including the National
Virtual Deal Making Sessions. These free webinars serve as an online marketing
platform that brings buyers, sellers, and investors together to do business.
Community Caring in Motion is another new initiative. In September, more than
20 CCIM chapters gave back to their local communities. From rebuilding a
tornado-ravaged home in Arkansas to packaging meals for third-world countries,
CCIMs made a difference.
With the
positive momentum we’ve gained in 2012, we hope you’ll make the clear choice to
continue your journey with CCIM in the year ahead. CCIM offers distinct
advantages in the marketplace. Our technology tools, public policy efforts, and
education and networking give members an edge in the highly competitive
business climate. Without a doubt, CCIM is the clear choice.
Finally,
as my term comes to a close, I would like to thank 2013 President Wayne
D’Amico, CCIM; First Vice President Karl Landreneau, CCIM; Treasurer Craig
Blorstad, CCIM; CCIM Institute Executive Vice President/CEO Hank White; and
Institute staff members in Chicago for their unbelievable help and dedication
in leading the organization this year. It has truly been an honor to be your
2012 President. I look forward to CCIM’s continued growth in 2013 and beyond.
Leil Koch,
CCIM
2012
