ANDIE IN SERVICE TO THE CCIM INSTITUTE
How it Started
As I embarked on my "second career" in commercial real estate, the CCIM designation became a crucial catalyst for my expertise and credibility. Immersed in my local Chapter and attending the national conferences and governance meetings, I witnessed positive changes driven by the CCIM Institute committee system and Board of Directors. Motivated by this progress, I aspire to contribute to the growth and advancement of The CCIM Institute through service and leadership..

Chapter Involvement
I am beyond grateful for my 12 years as a member of the Oregon/SW Washington chapter. Developing my leadership skills, creating professional relationships that turned into friendships, and learning to enjoy the 3 hour drive to Portland every month to attend meetings, had an incalculable ROI! A move to Scottsdale, AZ at the end of 2020 gave me an opportunity to join the Central Arizona Chapter and I am enjoying the opportunity to get to know a whole new set of friends!
