Chapter Awards & President’s Cup, Spring 2025

During the 2025 Spring Forum, The CCIM Institute chapters gathered to celebrate their accomplishments throughout the last year. The awards luncheon was led by Michael Williamson, CCIM, Chair of the Chapter Activities Subcommittee, and Jessica Johnson Kelley, CCIM, Vice Chair. As the luncheon progressed, Williamson and Johnson Kelley underscored the importance of celebrating our chapters’ dedication, successes, and overall excellence.  

For the awards, chapters were broken down into three tiers based on chapter member count and the total number of President’s Cup submissions. First, Second, and Third Place awards were awarded, within each tier, to chapters based on their achievements and ability to represent The CCIM Institute’s core values.
