Committees

NAREIM’s work is guided by a series of Executive, Benchmarking, and Functional Group Committees, whose members dedicate their time and expertise to advancing the association’s mission. These committees play a vital role in shaping meeting content and discussions, enhancing NAREIM’s benchmarking initiatives, and ensuring the continued growth and relevance of the organization.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all committee members for creating trusted, candid environments where peers can openly share insights on what’s working and what’s not and drive continuous improvement across the industry.
