Dear valued Northern Nevada CCIM Chapter Member,

Please allow me to introduce myself as the 2009 incoming President for our Northern Nevada Chapter. I have been a member since 2001 and last year served as the chapter’s vice president. I’m excited to report that we continued to grow our membership in spite of difficult economic times and we are welcoming a few new CCIM’s this year!

2009 is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning for the New Year. I’m enclosing a 2009 CCIM of Northern Nevada membership application for you to renew an existing membership or apply as a new member. I am happy to let you know that we did not increased dues from 2008.

My vision for our chapter in 2009 is to continue increasing the benefits for our members including providing more continued education classes specifically focused on commercial real estate, increased exposure in the community through our Forecast event, which last year featured for the first time a competition. Should you have any ideas for our chapter, I’d certainly love to hear them and would welcome your input.

CCIM of Northern Nevada experienced a fantastic year in 2008. Some of the highlights for our chapter include:

·  Six Northern Nevada CCIM candidates achieved their designation this year. Congratulations to Pam Barrett, Garrett Hallenbeck, James Lowey, David Woods, Kathy Boyce and Kevin Burr!

·  CCIM, along with CREW and NAIOP, hosted the Third Annual Summit Awards ceremony in April. Summit Awards recognized the best of the best in commercial real estate developers, brokers, agents and commercial projects in Northern Nevada. It was an fantastic evening, and we look forward to the Fourth Annual gala set to take place in May 2009.

·  We awarded nine scholarships to members this year who were taking CI classes. It was an honor to financially support Chris Fairchild, Mark Keyzers, Joel Fountain, David Woods, Melissa Molyneaux, Matt Grimes, Brad Lancaster, Gigi Chisel and Anna Marie Holst in their pursuit of the CCIM designation.

·  In July, we hosted the fourth annual Wine Tasting Fundraiser to benefit the Keaton Raphael Memorial for Childhood Cancer in which we raised over $4200! This is a record fundraiser for our chapter and I want to thank Kevin Annis who demonstrated exceptional fundraising abilities!

We have an exciting year planned out for 2009, including additional local advertisements for our members, legislative representation, new luncheon topics and monthly e-newsletter updates. To be a part of the CCIM of Northern Nevada chapter, please complete the enclosed application. And, if you respond by December 12th, you’ll receive a discounted rate. I urge you to meet that deadline so that all of your contact information will appear in our annual membership directory and on the CCIM website.

We will once again be awarding scholarships to members who are pursuing the CCIM designation and taking classes in 2009. If you are interested in applying, please contact our administrator, Stacie Griffin at 775-224-7038 or for an application. If you have questions please give myself or any Northern Nevada CCIM Chapter board member a call. We appreciate your membership and look forward to seeing you at our events in 2009.

Sincerely,

Aiman Noursoultanova, CCIM
