PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Our chapter continues to amaze me when it comes to the commitment to generating thoughtful conversations within our industry with some of the best minds in the region and across the country. If you missed our Equitable Leadership event with Dr. Dwinita Mosby Tyler last month, or the ArtLifting event on How to Achieve DEI Goals through Art, you can watch on-demand the recordings of this great DEI educational content on our Youtube channel to learn the best tools for your DE&I strategy and benchmarks for what success looks like.

CREST
We are excited to announce that the four participating firms that have been chosen for the 2023 CREST Internship Program subsidies are Citizens, John Hancock Corporate Real Estate, Liberty Mutual, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
CREST is a local, non-profit organization that provides meaningful summer internships to highly motivated and talented college students who have been historically underrepresented in the industry.
All the work we’ve accomplished over the past year will be presented at our Annual Meeting on March 22, 2023 at The Foundation. We look forward to seeing you there as we look ahead to another year of collaboration, connections, fostering career development, and innovation in the corporate real estate industry. At this meeting, we will announce the new additions to our Board of Directors. I want to thank the current Board, Executive Committee and Advisory Council for all their support and guidance this past year. Let’s keep doing well by doing good.
