When I started out in economic development, I had no idea it would lead me to a career in association management. But I’m so glad that it did.

The Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year – culminating in the official celebration to take place at our Fall Forum in Detroit October 22-26 – and I am proud to say that I have been affiliated with this great organization for 18 of those years.

“We have to accept what we’re dealing with and do the best we can.” Thus, Dmitry Dukhan wraps up the essential truth of the current inflationary economic environment. The Medline Industries VP of Real Estate, Facilities and Security takes a sort of laissez faire approach to the issue, categorizing it as “one of those geopolitical issues I have no control over.”

With a focus on core corporate real estate business practice areas, IAMC programming blends targeted professional development with world-class knowledge sharing. This fall in Detroit, keynote speakers will tie it all together inspiring and informing with big pictures views:

As an organization, IAMC fosters relationships that turn into both business partnerships and long-term friendships. The path to corporate real estate varies widely, and our members come from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds.

We thank Jim Horigan, manager of Global Real Estate Transactions for Corning Inc., for sharing his!

IAMC is proud to announce our new Partnership Program. It is designed to be a peer-to-peer mentorship program without the senior to junior relationship of a traditional mentorship program.
