Ultimate Group Sponsor Workshop CHICAGO: Sept. 24 GLOBAL EDUCATION STRATEGY The CCIM Institute's strategic plan for education has moved from reactive to proactive and propelled it into emerging and traditional markets. For example, commercial real estate is booming in Ghana, a nation of 27 million people with a strong cultural heritage, plentiful resources, and a stable government in West Africa. "We live in a global village and commercial real estate, especially, is more global now than local," says Vicky Sampah, managing broker at L'Abri Realty in Aurora, Ill., and CEO of Abri Properties in Ghana. She sponsored a CCIM pilot online course in Accra, Ghana, during June. "The CCIM Institute is the right organization with the right training in commercial real estate for professionals in Ghana who need practical training." For more traditional markets, CCIM participated in MIPIM, the international property market forum, in Cannes, France, in March. CCIM leaders met with more than 20 international commercial real estate leaders. "Face-to-face meetings with our international-based colleagues allowed us to broaden the reach of the CCIM designation," says 2015 CCIM Institute Presi- dent Mark Macek, CCIM. The next fi ve years promise tantalizing possibilities. The trick for the CCIM Institute is to marshal its resources in the right countries with the right commercial real estate professionals. With that goal in mind, the CCIM Institute is sponsoring an international networking lunch on Oct. 29 in Austin, Texas, dur- ing its annual business meeting. The two-hour lunch will feature a panel of experts from Taiwan, South Korea, China, Japan, Canada, and Mexico discussing "The Mechanics of Inbound International Investment."
