A Message From the President
Cole Schnorf
President, NAIOP-Maryland
The Maryland Chapter of NAIOP serves as the official Forum for Maryland’s commercial real estate marketplace and is comprised of the largest collection of companies and professionals working within this industry. Our primary objective is to represent the interests of developers, investors and owners of office, industrial and related commercial real estate throughout the Maryland and to organize and executive monthly activities and events to stimulate activity and discussion.
Regularly bringing the area’s commercial real estate professionals together, NAIOP-Maryland offers a full compliment of services for its membership, including monthly programs (many of which are certified for continuing education credits), a bi-annual awards program, commercial real estate forecasts, member education, networking and community service opportunities and legislative representation.
NAIOP, headquartered in Herndon, VA is the nation’s leading trade association for developers, owners, investors and other professionals in industrial, office and mixed-use commercial real estate. Founded in 1967, NAIOP comprises more than 15,000 members in 54 chapters throughout North America. NAIOP provides networking opportunities, educational programs, research on trends and innovations and strong legislative representation.
In addition to the opportunities offered at the local level to enhance their business through educational programs, networking and government affairs, members can also become involved at the national level by attending conferences for continuing education, participating in National Forums for professional development and working to advance legislative initiatives on Capitol Hill.
Our “Developing Leaders” membership program offers substantial discounts to professionals under the age of 35, who are interested in becoming involved with NAIOP-Maryland.
If you currently work in the commercial real estate industry - or are interested in breaking into this field - learn what NAIOP-Maryland can do for you. Most of our meetings are open to non-members and you can stay abreast of our activities by having your name added to our mailing list.
We hope to hear from you soon and often.
