Programs & Events Yearly

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT It has been a banner year for the New England Chapter of CoreNet Global—and for the New England region as a whole! As I’ve said before, we are truly a City of Champions.

In the same year that the Red Sox and Patriots won world championships, our Chapter helped raise the bar for CoreNet Global. This year’s Global Summit—hosted here in Boston—set attendance records, both for our Chapter and for the overall event. And we are ready to again set new precedents as we host this year’s Eastern Regional Symposium in June.

We also made tremendous progress as an organization this year. One of our first priorities was to transition in a new leadership team, including my role as President and Trish Fields and Fields Associates as our new Executive Director and association management team. Trish has come into the fold seamlessly and is proving to be an invaluable partner, advisor, and leader. One of her top assignments this year was to help us refine our operations through better efficiencies, technologies, and other association management strategies.

With the Executive Committee’s guidance, and working with many New England Chapter volunteer members, Trish and team have rolled out an updated and streamlined website, began distribution of weekly events and jobs newsletters that include a job and internship board, refined our finance and accounting systems, established more consistent communications platforms and event management processes, and implemented mechanisms for analyzing member engagement and feedback. These systemic changes are helping us to work smarter and communicate better with our membership.

In addition, our committees truly went above and beyond to develop and execute second-to-none programming throughout the entire year. Between our educational panels, site tours, networking events, Awards of Excellence, charitable golf tournament, our Leadership 2.0 and Young Leader Professional Development learning programs, and our BOD-determined strategic initiatives, as of the time of the publishing of this report, we have hosted 70+ events which have included nearly 3,000 registrants! Additionally, we have welcomed over 80 new members.

Read more about the amazing work of our committees and strategic initiatives beginning on page 8.

This year our Chapter also participated in CoreNet Global’s FutureForward 2025 strategic project, which engaged the global membership in creating a shared vision of the association’s future to solicit a diverse mix of viewpoints and forecasts about the future of belonging, convening, learning, and information and content for the association.

New England’s Board of Directors will meet in May for a Strategic Planning Retreat and will take the findings from FutureForward 2025 to help guide and inform future Chapter initiatives.

It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve my first year as President of the New England Chapter of CoreNet Global, and I could not be more proud of all we have accomplished together in one short year. I hope you feel the same sense of pride and accomplishment as you read through this Annual Report—and that you’re inspired to get engaged and contribute new ideas and suggestions to help us continue to improve our membership experience and the value proposition to our sponsors.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Cooper Senior Director, Corporate Real Estate, CIEE President, New England Chapter of CoreNet Global

The Legacy Council has enabled the Chapter to benefit from the wealth of experience of past Board members and helps foster growth of new Board members. The Executive Committee of the New England Chapter Board is unique because the seven CRE professionals represent one of the highest ratios of end users to service providers in the country.

BOARD DEVELOPMENT FORMALIZED SUCCESSION PLANNING ENABLES SUSTAINED SUCCESS Sustainable Chapter success is a result of good planning and strong leadership. For effective and transparent succession planning, the Chapter formalized a Board Development Program aligned with CoreNet Global’s bylaws and governance process that promotes a mentorship strategy and balanced Board representation between CREs and service providers.

DEVELOPING NEW LEADERSHIP The Chapter will continue to grow and succeed with a continual pipeline of new talent, leadership, and perspectives. Members are encouraged to get involved in one or more committees to gain keener insight into how the Chapter operates and to contribute fresh ideas. The Chapter fields new Committee Chair leaders from its committee members, and these Committee Chair positions provide members with additional leadership opportunities and responsibilities.

Each year the Nomination Committee, chaired by the Executive Vice President, also solicits a “Call for Nominations” to join the Board of Directors. Members interested in joining the Board of Directors are encouraged to apply, with strongest consideration given to those who have served on at least one or more committees and, ideally, served in a Chair role.

The New England Chapter of CoreNet Global has done an excellent job of retaining talented Board members by elevating incumbent Directors, with sufficient term remaining, to Chapter Officers. This approach leverages individual experience and maintains Board consistency and continuity. Officer positions are confirmed by the Board. The Board approves the Slate to be presented to the membership at least 30 days prior to the Annual Meeting. The membership votes to approve the proposed Slate by proxy vote, by electronic vote prior to the Annual Meeting, or at the Annual Meeting. The Legacy Council began eight years ago as a way of preserving a historical perspective as the Chapter has developed. Former Chapter Presidents can elect to stay on and participate as a Legacy Council non-voting member.

CHAPTER INITIATIVES In 2017, the Board of Directors developed a number of strategic initiatives for the following two years.

Here is a summary of the progress the Chapter has made on those initiatives over the past year.

2018-2019 BOARD OF DIRECTORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES Current initiatives requiring continued or greater focus that emerged from the 2017 Chapter membership survey results and the Board of Director strategic planning session • M embership Experience • P rofessionalize Marketing & Communications • D iversity & Inclusion

• R eview overall governance on a regular basis • M ake recommendations on policies, practices, and procedures, and monitor compliance • F ocus on the processes for making and implementing decisions that will continue to advance the Chapter’s principles and mission

Technology Platform GOALS:

RESULTS:

• T o enhance our member experience by upgrading our technology tools to promote ease of use, rapid delivery of information, and process improvement.

• L aunched the new and improved website in November 2018. Website now features accessible and relevant content in a sleek, attractive format that showcases our events and member photos.

15 | 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

• L aunched the Event App at 2018 Chapter Awards, giving attendees access to live event details, communications, and interaction via social media.

CORE INITIATIVES University GOALS:

At the end of 2017, CoreNet Global embarked on an 18-month global project that engaged members, local chapters, association industry professionals and subject matter experts such as futurists, economists, and sociologists. Groups gathered across the globe in virtual and in-person sessions to make forecasts about the ultimate association model of the future and formulate bold ideas to ensure the association’s relevance and indispensability for years to come. The New England Chapter session was held on June 13, 2018 and our Chapter discussed the outlook for our profession and how CoreNet Global can enhance our member experience, develop relevant content, and provide greater opportunities for communications across the chapters and networking within affinity groups.

We had almost 50 participants engaged from New England, with special thanks to Lisa Killaby, who did a terrific job planning and moderating the session, along with the workstream facilitators, Monica Juan, Jon Keefe, Brendan Callahan, and Regina Nealon.

2018 CORENET GLOBAL SUMMIT: BOSTON The New England Chapter welcomed the global CRE community to its home turf for this year’s CoreNet Global North American Summit at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Whether it was the innovations of Artificial Intelligence or the power of resilience using the example of the Boston Marathon Bombings, the CoreNet Global membership was able to network, grow, and learn over three days in October. In true Boston spirit, we also made history—this year’s Summit broke both sponsorship and attendance records, with more than 3,000 Global members in attendance over the three days.

2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT | 18
