MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Jeffrey Greene, CCIM
Welcome to this edition of the Ohio CCIM Chapter's newsletter. The 2016 Board of Directors and I are pleased to serve our membership this year. We want to thank those of you that have already renewed your membership and we want to encourage those who haven't yet joined the Chapter or renewed to do so before the end of the month. If you do so, you will not be charged the $50 late fee. If you have renewed your national membership but not State, please contact us at
ohioccim@ohioccim.org
to obtain an application.
A key question that the Board and the Institute constantly deal with is how to make our organization valuable to our members. While we are primarily known for the educational opportunities we present locally and nationally, we recognize that we need to be more. We have an internal commitment to present quarterly programs in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati as well as additional programs in Toledo. In fact, we have already discussed a joint program with the Michigan chapter that would be held in either Ohio or Michigan depending on the outcome of the OSU/U of M football game. This year it will be in Toledo in the fall and the Michigan chapter president will be wearing an OSU jersey. We will keep the membership informed of the schedule, I hope you can join us.
Another significant benefit that is available to all members are the tech tools that the Institute offers. If you are not familiar with STDB/BAO, CCIM Connect or CCIM Dealshare you are missing out on some significant resources. We have had a number of training sessions to familiarize the members with these tools including bringing in a national speaker to train on STDB/BAO. We are considering continuing these trainings but need to know if they would be welcomed. Please let us know at
ohioccim@ohioccim.org
if you would like a training session.
Finally, any of the members of the Board of Directors would welcome any comments you may have. Our contact information is located below this message. Reach out to any of us. We would welcome any suggestions you may have as to programs and other events you would like to see.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Remember that just because you paid your CCIM Institute dues does not automatically make you a member of the Ohio CCIM Chapter. If you have already paid your Ohio CCIM Chapter membership dues, thank you! But if you haven't, please consider doing so. Chapter membership provides access to guidance, technology and trusted resources through a forum of like-minded professionals that are also willing to help you grow your business. Last year, we hosted 19 events for our membership, ranging from small training classes to educational events to large industry gatherings. Joining is easy, just fill out an application

Last year, CCIM introduced a new tool called 'Connect'. It is part discussion forum, part broadcast system and part online file cabinet. Throughout 2015, the Ohio chapter traveled around the state, providing a tech training class that highlighted this tool. In 2016, the Ohio Chapter will take this tool to the next level. In addition to having access to the national Connect board (called a 'community'), Ohio Chapter members will also have exclusive access to a community designed for just our Chapter. This will offer us many benefits; (1) providing a place for members to post questions, highlight haves & wants and communicate with other Ohio chapter members in an open forum environment, (2) provide a place to archive chapter documents, including chapter by-laws, past board meeting agendas and minutes, newsletters and scholarship & candidate information, (3) provide an online calendar of upcoming chapter events and (4) facilitate a future planned migration to a new chapter website. Our community has been created and all of you are already members (assuming you've paid your 2016 Ohio Chapter dues!). While we will provide more formalized instruction in the coming weeks, you are welcome to check it out right now! Here's how:
1: Go to
www.ccim.com
and log in by clicking on the LOGIN button (top right corner).
2: Along the top menu ribbon, click on 'Members Only', which will take you to the Members Resources page.
3: In the middle of this page, you will see a panel called CCIM Connect. Clicking on that will open your main Connect page
4: Along the top menu ribbon, click on 'Communities' and then chose 'My Communities'. This will show you all of the Communities that you are a member of and will include on called 'CCIM Ohio Chapter'. Click on 'Enter' and you will now be in our Community.
We will be having a series of training webinars over the course of this year dedicated to this community, so be sure an keep an eye out for those announcements!

I look forward to seeing you at an Ohio CCIM chapter event in the near future.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Greene, CCIM
2016 Ohio CCIM President
