TUCSON, AZ — The Southern Arizona CCIM Chapter, a group of approximately 150 members focused on commercial real estate, recently elected its Board of Directors and Committee Members for 2017.

CCIM Institute is commercial real estate’s most influential professional organization, with members closing $200 billion annually in commercial real estate deals. For more than 40 years, the Institute has been building opportunities through its respected education program, led by established practitioners. A CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) is a recognized expert in the commercial and investment real estate industry. The designation process ensures that CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice. This elite corps of CCIMs includes brokers, leasing professionals, investment counselors, asset managers, appraisers, corporate real estate executives, property managers, developers, institutional investors, commercial lenders, attorneys, bankers, and other allied professionals.

“I cannot say enough good things about the CCIM Organization and the volunteers who consistently give their time and expertise to our local chapter,” said Melissa Lal next year’s president. “My career in commercial real estate started with CCIM and has grown as a result of my involvement over the past 10 years. It is an honor for me to serve as next year’s president, to have the chance to give back to the organization that has given so much to me.”
