Standing committees, advisory councils, and ethics panels

IREM® standing committees, advisory councils, and ethics panels

For 90 years, volunteers have been the heart of IREM and continue to play an essential role in defining and shaping membership offerings, learning opportunities, and member experiences. When members join together to learn, network, and give back, they not only move the profession forward, they move each other forward.

“Becoming involved in IREM is one of the best choices I’ve made in my real estate management career! I have met incredible professionals from across the world, gained valuable knowledge through the numerous educational programs, and developed my organizational leadership skillset. Through IREM, I have built strong connections that have propelled my career to the next level and inspired me to do the same for the next generation of talent”.
