WINTER WARMER FEBRUAR Y 2024
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We’re looking ahead to an incredible season celebrating the successes and accomplishments of our Chapter. We’re known for investing in our early career professionals and providing opportunities for our members to nurture their leadership skills by providing mentorship to the next generation of corporate real estate professionals. The Annual Awards of Excellence honors only a handful of outstanding individuals and project teams who continue to make waves in the CRE industry, motivating and inspiring those around them while leading with
integrity and innovation. Join us on May 23, 2024 at the Westin Boston Seaport District as we celebrate these accomplishments and the graduation of the Young Leaders Professional Development Program. It’s been a fascinating, thrilling two years of leading this Chapter through my Presidency, and I look forward to the Annual Meeting on March 28, 2024 at Liberty Mutual where we’ll examine at a closer look all the amazing programs and opportunities we’ve built together and celebrate the Leadership 2.0 graduating class.

Thanks to all participating firms, CREST students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in hands-on learning at their respective firms, participate in the CoreNet Global New England Chapter/ CREST mentorship program, be inspired about the multitude of careers available to them in corporate real estate, and benefit from the value of a CoreNet Global membership.
