Programs

 

The Programs Committee is responsible for the development and implementation of multiple local events each year geared towards education, learning, and exposure to important CRE industry trends and issues. The committee develops cutting edge programs and enlists top quality speakers which provide focused training and insights concerning the DFW commercial real estate market. Networking is an essential component of each program, helping to build and strengthen long lasting relationships amongst friends and industry peers. Events are open to current members and potential new members, creating opportunities to connect with corporate real estate and workplace professionals, share industry knowledge and best practices, and get involved through local committees and networking events.

Our programs directly align with CoreNet Global’s core mottos of Connect, Learn, Grow, and Belong.
