During the meeting, action was taken to amend REIC's bylaws, largely a result of the changes in the partner agreement between IREM and REIC that was signed in late 2003. One of the changes was the renaming of the IREM Canada Council, which had been required by the previous IREM-REIC agreement, as the Real Estate Property/Asset Management Council. IREM members in Canada will be represented through this council. Chairing the Real Estate Property/Asset Management Council for the coming year is Chrystal Skead, CPM, ARM, of Edmonton, AB; Tina Umphrey, CPM, of Toronto, ON, is chair-elect.

IREM, REIC Enter into New Partner Agreement
IREM and REIC have worked collaboratively – and successfully – in Canada for more than two decades and under various types of agreements. The most recent agreement between the two organizations, signed in November 2003, governs the usage of and protects both IREM's and REIC's registered marks and establishes the relationship between the two entities. The new agreement addresses the delivery of education, credentialing, and member and chapter services to IREM members in Canada directly and via REIC.
