Cultivating the Next Crop of CRE Leaders

The New England Chapter of CoreNet Global is committed to ensuring that future real estate leaders have access to educational resources and networking opportunities with their peers as well as senior professionals to support professional development and growth.

In 2015 the Chapter developed a robust Leadership Program for Young Leaders. This 1-year program is sponsored by the Chapter’s Board of Directors and involves senior members of the CRE community as well as outside professionals. The program is open to Young Leaders who are members of the Chapter and is limited to 10-12 participants selected through an application process. The program focuses on various topics in corporate real estate as well as professional/personal development to enhance participants’ personal brand, skills, and leadership abilities. At the end of the program, the class “graduates” at our chapter’s annual Awards of Excellence event. This is a unique opportunity to broaden your knowledge of the corporate real estate industry, to build professional connections and to learn from industry leaders.
