“For the last 20+ years I have found the one consistent organization in real estate to be involved with is GWCAR. It brings together the rookies and the veterans, watches out for our needs and recognizes the work of its membership. Whether it is a course being taught or a social mixer, you are for sure to meet other leaders in the industry when you become active with GWCAR. It has helped my career in many ways.�

Regardless of your tenure, GWCAR provides a forum and an opportunity for brokers and other commercial real estate professionals to learn (and also teach), to socialize with your peers and other industry leaders, and to work together to resolve issues affecting our industry. GWCAR’s events and seminars are consistently informative and worthwhile. Time is precious but I am certainly glad that I made time for GWCAR.” Louis Christopher, Cushman & Wakefield
