What is NextGen?

CARW Next Generation is an initiative focused on helping member firms recruit and retain commercial real estate professionals by giving access to up-and-coming real estate professionals to information and experts. The 10-month program will provide participants with varying perspectives and insights into the multi-faceted nature of commercial real estate from experienced real estate professionals. This experience will improve individuals and the industry - for now and in the future.

How do I participate?

CARW Next Generation involves two components: the first consists of programming that is exclusive to CARW Members selected through an application process. The selection committee will choose 15-25 applicants to move through the program. The second component of the program involves social events and happy hours that are open to all members of the commercial real estate community.

This program gives those with less than five years of experience access and exposure to various disciplines while fostering strong relationships within the real estate community. Those who are selected must be nominated and be active members of CARW in good standing. Through the selection process, we also recommend to some, applying in future years.

There is a $100 program fee to participate in NextGen.

Who is eligible?

CARW Next Generation is only open to CARW members with under 5 years of commercial real estate experience and who are active CARW members in good standing.
