David K. Hyun Donates Scholarship to empower Southern Arizona CCIM Chapter’s Rookies

Tucson, Arizona (September 6, 2023) – In a remarkable act of generosity, David K. Hyun has donated $1,000 to the Southern Arizona CCIM Chapter. In his profoundly motivating statement, Mr. Hyun shared his reasons for persistently upholding his backing for newcomers within the CCIM Family. The region of Southern Arizona has been the beneficiary of this act of generosity. Reflecting on his own journey, Mr. Hyun stated,

“About a year ago, I graduated from the JWL Leadership Program in April of 2021 and was so moved and impressed by my Fellow Team Members called JWL Team 5 composed of Craig Finfrock, CCIM of Tucson, AZ, Tim Veler, CCIM of North Dallas, TX, and Adam Palmer, CCIM, Tampa, Fl. I decided to contribute (4) $1,000.00 Scholarships to INSPIRE and MOTIVATE young Commercial Broker Rookies to never give up and to get your CCIM Pin – It’s like the journey of leaving the “Land of Egypt” and reaching the “Promised Land”
where everything flows with “Milk & Honey”.

When I started my Journey as a Commercial Real Estate Broker on March 1st, 2011, I was totally IGNORANT of the challenges and difficulties ahead of me, but after being invited to a CCIM Installation Dinner, I was so impressed, that I started my Journey with the CCIM Map of going through the RED SEA and through the Sinai Desert to getting to the Promised Land!
I reached the Promised Land (Tampa, Florida) on April 11, 2018, after 4 years of incredible challenges! The JWL TEAM 5 Scholarship of $1,000.00 is intended to be a beacon of LIGHT to any Arizona ROOKIE to NEVER give up – If I could make it, so can any Rookie with a CCIM Family (Tucson Chapter) to give him the encouragement needed when confronted with dark clouds and heavy rains!”

Additionally, the Southern Arizona CCIM Chapter offers five named education scholarships that facilitate the pursuit of the esteemed CCIM designation. These scholarships, namely the George C. Larsen, CCIM Scholarship, the James P. Robertson, CCIM Scholarship, the Ryan W. Heinfeld, CCIM Memorial Scholarship, the HSL Properties, Inc Southern Arizona Chapter Scholarship, and the Margaret Larsen, CCIM Memorial Scholarship, alleviate the financial burden for those seeking the CCIM Designation.
