We may be in the midst of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, but members of IREM committees are anything but lazy! Summer is the season we spend planning the Asset & Property Management Symposium. This third annual event will be held at the New York Helmsley Hotel in New York City. The date is Wednesday, March 10 - put it in your Blackberry right now!

Those of you fortunate enough to attend last year's APMS know that it is a worthwhile event. And while I do appreciate that it is difficult for anyone in the property and asset management profession to spend an entire day out of the office, with a little advance planning it is not only manageable but it is time wisely invested in you and your career.
Complete with seminars, exhibits, keynote speaker, luncheon & cocktail hour, there is opportunity for networking and connecting with colleagues both established & new. So plan ahead. Make the commitment. Spend the day with us. You'll be glad you did.
