A Miami city planner event. A developer\u2019s panel luncheon co-sponsored with the Florida International University (FIU) Jerome Bain Real Estate Institute. A session focused on Miami logistics, infrastructure and trade and how they influence the real estate markets.<\/p>\n

One look at the Real Estate Alumni Affinity Council (REAAC) calendar of events planned for this year and it\u2019s clear the organization is on a roll.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to come together with business and community leaders to create an environment for exchanging ideas and identifying market trends,\u201d said Enrique Lopez (BBA \u201902), REAAC president. \u201cAt the same time, we want to create greater awareness of the real estate graduate and undergraduate programs at the FIU College of Business.\u201d<\/p>\n

To that end, many of the planned REAAC events bring together FIU alumni with the real estate community at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are focused on bringing in quality speakers and professionals who have something important and insightful to share about the current and future state of Miami area real estate,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cWe want to trigger discussions and help build relationships, which is especially important as the local real estate market begins to show signs of rebounding.\u201d<\/p>\n

New plan fosters continuity in REAAC leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n

To ensure continued growth in membership and relevance, the REAAC board recently created a new president-elect position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president-elect works for one year side by side with the REAAC president,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cThen the next year, that person steps up to be REAAC president. It\u2019s a two-year commitment that we believe will work to sustain and strengthen our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

REAAC is also ramping up its social media activities, including a greater presence on Facebook and Twitter as well as the upcoming launch of a new website.<\/p>\n
