IREM President’s Message: A review of upcoming meetings

It’s finally September, which means our 24th Annual Charity Golf Tournament is just around the corner!

We’re so excited to once again hold this fantastic event on September 12 at Granite Links to raise funds for the IREM Foundation, which offers scholarships and grants to members of the organization, and conducts frequent student and industry outreach in an effort to ensure that everyone has access to a promising career in real estate management and can benefit from the great educational offerings IREM offers.

As usual, we have a great day planned, including raffle prizes, a silent auction, lunch, dinner, a cornhole tournament, hole contests, networking, music, and presentation of our 2023 Board of Directors candidates!
