Chicago Chapter President |

It is with great pride that I step into the role of President of CoreNet Global Chicago Chapter. As your newly elected President, I am humbled and honored to be leading such a wonderful organization.
I initially joined the CNG Chicago Chapter to help increase my knowledge of corporate real estate, which I was able to do by obtaining the designation of Masters in Corporate Real Estate (MCR). Through participating in MCR courses, Chapter learning events, and monthly luncheons I quickly realized that I would gain so much more from the Chapter. I have had the opportunity to befriend a diverse group of members, network with like-minded people, and realize my own leadership potential.
Over the years, I have been actively involved in the CNG Chicago Chapter. I participated on the Young Leader Committee and helped plan the annual charity event. I was a Co-Chair of the Membership Committee and helped organize the End User round tables. I also served on the inaugural REAL Awards Committee. I served as Treasurer for two consecutive years and during this time I helped create and implement the Treasurer’s Handbook.
As President, I hope to help the organization continue to sustain it’s past successes and contribute to its future growth. I feel it is vital to our organization to increase investment into our members by developing more learning programs and networking opportunities. I would also like to expand our educational activities through more prominent alliances with universities. The Board and I will work hard to pursue the CNG Chapter mission which is to provide excellence in leadership, learning, best practices, and career development to corporate real estate professionals and value to our respective organizations.
Finally, thank you for your continued commitment to your own professional development. Without you, CoreNet would not be so highly regarded and successful. Please know that I welcome and seek your valued input.
