IREM Austin gave me leadership opportunities I never expected. As an assistant property manager, committee involvement put me in a position to lead people at all levels – including those many titles above me. While our jobs teach us to manage down, IREM taught me to manage sideways and up – a critical skill for executive leadership. Those experiences helped me become more effective both within the organization and my career. Being part of one of IREM’s top chapters internationally means access to world-class leadership development that you simply can’t find elsewhere.
