The IREM Next Gen CPM Leaders program is a talent management initiative that offers an exclusive opportunity for property management firms to fast-track their up-and-coming employees (under the age of 40) to earn the CPM.
Young managers from all over the country complete CPM coursework and enhanced supplemental leadership training – together. The result is a program that not only enhances an employee’s network, but it also enhances their key skill sets to immediately bring value to the properties your firm manages.
Leadership Track within the Next Gen CPM Program is sponsored by President Level Industry Partner, Rent Manager
