WHAT is a NAIOP Developing Leader Membership?
The NAIOP Developing Leader membership is designed with young professionals in mind. Developing Leaders have access to a wide variety of programming and career development opportunities that you need for the next step in your career.
Examples of DL events and opportunities to network with peers and senior executives include:
- Executive Dinner Series - A small group of 15-20 DL members attend a casual dinner with a senior industry executive from the NAIOP Board and Gavel leadership circle.
- Space Spotlights - An in-depth look at newly developed properties.
- Fun and Networking - Annual DL networking events include a Ski Trip, Holiday Party, and Summer Social.
- Connecting with Commercial Real Estate Executives – Take advantage of the DL Mentorship Program and annual Beers with the Board event in order to make personal lasting connections and relationships with senior commercial real estate professionals.
- Committee Participation - Join the Developing Leaders Committee or one of NAIOP's other member-only committees to build valuable relationships and stay on top of the latest industry news.
HOW is this membership different?
NAIOP Developing Leaders have a wide range of member-benefits. In addition to DL-specific events and networking opportunities, DLs can access the NAIOP Link Lounge at Allsteel. This exclusive NAIOP member-only benefit is designed to provide a flexible and inspiring space to work, meet, or simply enjoy a change of scenery.
DLs also enjoy discounted admission to NAIOP's programs and events throughout the year. DL members also receive additional discounts to most programs and professional development courses. Join close to 400 young professionals who are making lasting connections through NAIOP membership.
