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 Bill Luttrell, Director, Corporate Real Estate, Werner Enterprises, Inc. for sharing his!

Health risks aside--a difficult issue to ignore in the face of Covid-19 cases numbering in the thousands and climbing--the impact on manufacturing and distribution, especially when it entails a global supply chain, is staggering.

The issue also raises important questions about what corporate real estate managers can do in the face of any downturn to help maintain profit margins when economic conditions change for the worse. The answer we received from IAMC members can be boiled down to one concept: “Constant Diligence.”

You can never overestimate the power of networking. It has come to be an expected benefit of IAMC Forums. 

Lane Johnson, director of property management at Whataburger, Inc. in Schertz, TX, has found a way to extend that Forum experience. “I was an early adopter of Cornerstone, and I’ve found it to be an excellent resource for proper benchmarking and peer resources.”

Cornerstone is IAMC’s membership community portal (https://cornerstone.iamc.org/home), providing platforms for discussions on a wide variety of hot-button topics in addition to a variety of other customizable features.
