NAIOP Arizona, in conjunction with the national organization based out of Washington D.C., established the Developing Leaders Mentorship Program in 2011 as a result of the recognized need to provide advanced education in the real estate disciplines to our younger members. Now in its eighth year and rebranded as the Young Professionals Group, this program is designed to educate, develop, connect and elevate the next generation of commercial real estate leaders. 

Designed for real estate professionals 35 years of age or younger, the program provides:

• Education
• Extensive Case Study
• Networking
• Mentoring
• Leadership Training
• Career Coaching​
