For many new members, IAMC Ambassadors are one of the first friendly faces they meet – and the connection that helps them feel at home in our community.

We’ve recently expanded the Ambassador Program to support new members throughout their entire first year of membership, not just during their first Forum. Ambassadors are experienced IAMC members who know the ins and outs of both IAMC and our Forums. They serve as mentors, guides and connectors – helping new members navigate their first months, understand what to expect at Forums, and build relationships that last long after the closing session.

IAMC is always excited to add new members to our association, and we are delighted to welcome the newest among us.

For more than 20 years, one guiding principle has shaped the way our community connects and grows: when relationships come first, business naturally follows. This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, from Forums and webinars to leadership development initiatives. But the true foundation of this legacy is the strength and diversity of our members. Their individual stories form a vibrant network that grows stronger by championing knowledge sharing, connection and innovation. As the industry evolves, so does our community, adapting to new demands while staying committed to meaningful collaboration and support.

For more than 22 years, IAMC has stood apart in the world of professional trade associations for its powerful combination of value-based networking, peer-level knowledge sharing and a uniquely low-pressure environment. These hallmarks have driven our growth and cemented our role as the trusted home for corporate real estate professionals.

That said, as the industry evolves and expectations shift, so too must our approach to member value. In today’s fast-paced, talent-driven world, ongoing professional development is more than a benefit – it’s a business imperative.

As IAMC continues to grow and strives to exceed member needs and expectations, so does our commitment to providing exceptional value through high-quality professional education, strategic leadership development and world-class programming. We’re excited to welcome two dynamic professionals to the IAMC staff who will help further elevate our offerings and member experience.

Joining our team are Charlene Manuel, our new Director of Education & Research, and Andrea “Andi” Rawl, who steps into the role of Director of Professional Development. Each brings a unique background, deep expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—and we’re thrilled to have them on board.
