CCIM Chapter Announcements

We’re excited to share the latest New Member Orientation Webinar, now available for all chapters to view and share.

This session provides a helpful overview of CCIM Institute membership benefits, the core designation courses required to earn the CCIM Designation, professional development opportunities, and ways new members can get involved through networking and local chapter activities.

Chapters are encouraged to use this recording as a resource during orientations or chapter meetings to help welcome and engage new members.

We know Mentorship is most impactful at the local level, and many CCIM Chapters already run formal mentorship programs that connect experienced professionals with those newer to the profession. The current CCIM mentoring platform is underused and as such sunsetting as of September 30, 2025. Current platform participants will be encouraged to get involved and connect at the local level to expand and continue the relationships built. They have also been added to a new community -- The Mentoring Hub -- within CCIM Connect which remains available for members to seek advice, share expertise, and build connections beyond their local networks.

Time to announce the chapter-level Dealmakers Awardees AND submit them for National Consideration via ----> Chapter_Folders Winners will be recognized during the Fall Forum at the Dealmakers Award Dinner on Monday, October 6. 

Include:

o   Completed submission form

o    All supporting documents

o   Chapter scoring form

o   Name each file by CCIM name and category  Example: JohnDoeCCIM_Industrial
