CHAPTER HISTORY

REIAC became a national organization in 1994 when Jerry Monash, ongoing Southeast President, along with a strong institutional Board of Directors and sponsor support, expanded the original Los Angeles group by founding an Eastern U.S. Chapter headquartered in Atlanta. Subsequently, additional chapters were added in Boston, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco, and the Eastern U.S. Chapter became focused on the Southeast. As one of the most active REIAC chapters in the nation, the Southeast Chapter consists of a “Who’s Who” of senior commercial real estate principals featuring institutional quality educational programs and networking events.
