Thoughtful discussion, connection, and planning for the future of our organization were key elements of the recent @corenet_global Chapter Leadership Forum held in Atlanta from April 23-24, 2026. The New England Chapter was represented by Alan Kocher (Treasurer) and Marisa Fava (Board Member) along with Chapter administrator, Karyn Houde – they are excited to report back to our Chapter leaders and members all of the developments we can look forward to seeing from CoreNet Global. Special thanks to our Global leadership team as well as Don Levonius, for putting on such an engaging forum, time to network with our CoreNet colleagues from around the world, and an experience with @artlifting , that let the inner artist emerge. We returned to chilly New England feeling proud of the accomplishments of our Chapter but also inspired to work towards greater achievements. #CRE #corporaterealestate
