On February 12, 2025, NAIOP Charlotte hosted a Local Advocacy 101 program to help members become advocates for commercial real estate. Advocacy allows you to clarify your perspectives, use your voice about something important to our industry, and help affect change. Learn more about our local elected officials and how to connect effectively and share perspectives on commercial real estate. Take the next step and get involved.

A special thank you to our speakers: Councilman Ed Driggs, Assistant City Manager Alyson Craig, REBIC Executive Director Rob Nanfelt, and REBIC General Counsel Larry Shaheen.

Early in February, NAIOP Charlotte leaders attended the Chapter Leadership and Legislative Retreat (CL&LR) in Washington, D.C. One of the event's highlights is the meetings with our senators and representatives to educate elected officials on the issues important to the commercial real estate industry. The annual CL&LR is an important event and is the kickoff to what is sure to be a consequential year for commercial real estate in terms of federal legislation. Thank you to everyone who attended and impacted commercial real estate in our region.
