IREM Gala
  • Saturday, May 1, 2021 Gaylord at National Harbor - Save The Date
  • As previously communicated, the IREM Gala in-person event for 2020 was cancelled. Although we were unable to hold our in-person Gala this year, we still made an incredible $55,000 donation to Special Love! This was due to the generosity of many of the existing 2020 sponsors and the chapter sponsorships from IREM Chapters 8, 16, 77 & 92 who kept their donations for this year, despite the event being cancelled.
  • We also want to thank the many Chapter Members and Industry Partners who also personally donated money to support this amazing organization with an aggregate donation from IREM. At a time when this charity needed our support more than ever, we find it simply incredible that we were still able to make a $55,000 donation to Special Love!
Many FREE resources are available to you through IREM. IREM is here to assist you through this time and always. Daily updates and new resources are constantly being added for our members to use at irem.org
You can also access most of these resources directly on our chapter website. In addition, our chapter’s recovery resource page features updates from our very own Industry Partners. Please keep all of our Industry Partners at the top of your list when you are looking for solutions to your needs during this time, and always.

One of the most powerful resources we have available for our property management members is that of IREM DC Industry Partners. Always reach out to our Industry Partners first when you need a bid on a project.
I hope to see everyone on our next virtual call! For questions regarding any of our upcoming events or chapter resources, please contact Jean Collins.
