In 2019 the Developing Leaders will continue to refine the Young Professionals Group (YPG) mentorship program. It will also launch the inaugural NAIOP Arizona Connections program and host a full slate of networking and philanthropic events.
“We have a great group of people, and it will be a total team effort in 2019,” Boyle said.
DL events scheduled for 2019 include the award-winning mentor program, a bowling outing, a baseball spring training game, the signature Rookies & Rockstars evening, networking happy hours, a holiday party, and an educational speaker event.
