For IREM, Connections Beget Growth

“For IREM, Connections Beget Growth”
Globe Street – Aug 23, 2018

It’s certainly been a whirlwind year for Donald B. Wilkerson, CPM. Talk with him about his tenure as president of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), and you’re likely to hear a lot about connections. You’ll also hear the words “excitement” and “evolution.” Outreach on all fronts, says Wilkerson, form the seeds of growth. For that reason, it’s been a whirlwind year for IREM itself, as the group continues to build on an aggressive global growth strategy and, on the homefront, a more robust legislative platform. So it should come as no surprise that IREM’s Global Summit, slated for Hollywood, FL, at the end of next month, is themed “Connections,” reflecting the growth that characterized 2018. Despite all the activity, Wilkerson, who is also president and CEO of Gaston and Wilkerson Management in Reno, NV, sat down with GlobeSt.com to chat about growth to date.
