President’s Message – October 2024

Dear NAIOP Southern Nevada Members,

I am truly honored to be leading our chapter this year and can hardly believe there’s only one quarter left before handing the reins to Matthew Hoyt with LaPour. My experience as Chapter President has been immensely rewarding.

This past quarter has been bustling with activity, and I am incredibly proud of the successful breakfast programs we’ve hosted this year. A special thanks to Dan Tuntland, the programs committee, Johna Savage, and Katrina Bruce for their hard work.

Reflecting on our recent events, I had a fantastic time at the Annual Bowling Tournament in August and the Oktoberfest Mixer in September. Thank you to our amazing members for continually making our events exceptional!

I also want to acknowledge the community service committee for leading the back-to-school supply drive for Hollingsworth Elementary STEAM Academy School! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our NAIOP members, we donated 14,922 school supply items and raised $5,700, ensuring the school has everything they need for the entire year! We also had volunteers read to 42 classrooms, inspiring the next generation of leaders and innovators! The “Thank You” cards the readers received from students were priceless! It was also a privilege to send off the DLI Class of 2025 on their retreat last week—I can’t wait to see their growth!

Our 2024 Board of Directors met in August to create a new 5-year strategic plan, incorporating your valuable feedback from surveys. We are hard at work putting the final touches together before the official release.

Lastly, I’m excited for our city to host the national NAIOP CRE.CONVERGE conference next week. I hope to see you all there!

Thank you for everything you do, and a big shoutout to Katrina Bruce, Johna Savage, and the Alternative Management team for their unwavering support.

2024 NAIOP Southern Nevada President
