What

This ten-month leadership program for mid-career professionals in the public, private, and nonprofit real estate and planning professions is held throughout metropolitan Washington to help those who are poised to assume leadership positions in their organization or profession in the near future explore and understand the region’s commercial real estate and land-use complexities. The program days consist of panels of key decision-makers/stakeholders, site tours, skills training, and interactive activities all centered around the program day theme. Participants also work in teams to assist a nonprofit or government organization that focuses on a specific issue facing a local community or organization.
