Which CRE professional organizations are most useful?
Looking to get more involved next year, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Anyone have good/bad experiences they can share about:

CCIM, ULI, NAIOP, SIOR, others?

Thanks in advance!

He's one of very few SIORs in Wisconsin, so he's pretty well known as the go-to guy for our area by industrial brokers in the Midwest. He said he likes the networking and conferences for SIOR and the different tools you get access to with CCIM. He also joined NAIOP within the last year or two, but he's not sure about it yet. One thing that's tough is that we are in a tertiary market about 35 minutes from Madison and 50 minutes from Milwaukee, which is where all the main events and meetings are, so he doesn't really feel like taking half the day to go to committee meetings and such.

It also depends on where you are located and age can be a factor, the young leaders groups are great as well", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "drs6ksi", "text": "Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you are willing to help entrepreneurs that want to try new things in CRE, I have some out-of-the-box suggestions!
