The CCIM Institute spring forum in Philadelphia was quite a site to see.
Although I missed the city tour, the morning Rocky run, the breakfast conversations, every single networking event, the STDB competition, the governance meetings, amazing speakers and even the phenomenal pinning ceremony… I did just so happen to see each and every one of you that attended.
How you might ask?
You may not have noticed me, but I was there when you came to register. I may have only gotten a quick glimpse 👀 of you from the side view of a column, but I was there. I even peaked and saw when you went to grab your landyard. I took a photo with a few of you like Dawn Brewer, CCIM, MBA, Principal by the way, it was great to see you and your son at the spring forum. I even supported someone that needed to lean on me when they were on a call negotiating a deal! What an honor. So glad I was there to help.
When I saw CCIM Institute President Adam Palmer, CCIM, SIOR walking by cracking jokes with Paul Rumler, CCE all I could do was fold my arms and smile. Adam, what a guy. He always has a smile on his face, is what I said quietly to myself… but his smile made me smile too.
So even though I had a schedule conflict this week and was not able to attend in person, I was definitely there in spirit and I saw each and every one of you. 😂
Congrats to all of the new designees!!
