As we approach the start of 2010, we invite you to consider joining the Chicago Real Estate Council, a networking organization comprised of a diverse group of professionals in Chicago's commercial real estate industry. Since 1949, CREC has hosted a series of monthly luncheon events covering topics affecting the commercial real estate industry in Chicago. CREC events are excellent opportunities to network with other professionals and to gain industry insight into the news and trends affecting our industry. Membership in CREC continues to be an excellent value and investment in your career, providing attendance to all of our regular events throughout the year for one low annual membership fee.
During the past year CREC hosted a wide variety of events, which again enjoyed record attendance. These included:

In 2010, CREC will continue hosting many of these popular events, with additional topics and some exciting new networking opportunities to round out the year. Our "Events" tab shows the 2010 tentative schedule. We are also in the process of updating our website to give our members timely information on events, the CREC membership directory and recent member news.
