CHICAGO (August 1, 2022) – IREM® (Institute of Real Estate Management) recognizes that the future of real estate management is largely driven by the commitment and efforts of our younger generations. Cultivating and providing opportunity for these up-and-coming leaders helps ensure our profession continues to thrive.
“While we invite everyone to explore the dynamic and rewarding world of real estate management, our 30 Under 30 recognition program celebrates the young professionals who are already taking the lead,” says IREM CEO and Executive Vice President Linda Caradine-Poinsett, Ph.D. “They’ve collectively demonstrated the initiative and energy required to succeed and thrive as real estate managers, and IREM is here to support and guide their professional development.”
Not only do those on this year’s list share a common birth decade, they’re each driven by success and the ability to recognize opportunities that make a difference. Learn more about these dynamic young leaders at IREM 30 Under 30.
