WASHINGTON, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society of
Industrial and Office Realtors® (SIOR), the world's
premier commercial real estate organization for industrial and
office brokers, has been recognized as a Power of Associations
Silver Award recipient by the American Society of Association
Executives (ASAE) for its successful Member Associates (MA)
Program. The Power of Associations Summit Awards celebrate the
contributions associations make to America and the world.
SIOR understands the importance of investing in the future.
Through its MA program, which serves as a cornerstone for
professional development and education within the commercial real
estate sector, SIOR attracts, trains, and develops the next
generation of CRE leaders.
The program offers year-round education and mentorship at a
level they otherwise would not receive. By providing professional
development opportunities, the program enables a qualified, global
group of emerging leaders to advance their career, equipping them
with the tools to enhance their knowledge and expertise within the
industry, benefiting both their clients and the communities they
serve.
The initiative has significantly increased the number of
qualified professionals entering the CRE sector, thereby expanding
the talent pool within the industry. There are currently 196 Member
Associates (MAs) in the program. After several years' experience
gained, MAs can apply for their full designation. In the past two
years alone, 42 have become full designees. Many program graduates
have gone on to secure prominent roles within the commercial real
estate sphere, and within SIOR's own leadership, and all have
become active contributors to the broader commercial real estate
community.
"The MA program serves as a catalyst for driving positive change
and innovation within the industry," says SIOR CEO Robert Thornburgh, SIOR. "By investing in the
development of future leaders and enhancing the collective body of
knowledge in commercial real estate, we are elevating the overall
standard of professionalism and excellence."
"Congratulations to SIOR for exemplifying the impact
associations have on the industries and professions they represent,
and on society at large," states ASAE President and CEO
Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE.
"It's always so incredibly satisfying to see associations going
above and beyond their everyday mission to change the world. We're
very proud to spotlight this award-winning initiative."
