Advisory Board


Comprised of 130 real estate leaders, the Board of Advisors is a core support group for the Graaskamp Center, advising the Center, participating in exclusive board lifelong learning opportunities and conferences, and contributing as guest lecturers and mentors. Learn more about our events here.

Drawn by invitation only from senior executives in the real estate industry, representation on the board is sought from the array of functional areas related to real estate and urban development.

Support the Board

The board pledges to support the Graaskamp Center through annual contributions. Member support is a critical element in the overall structure of the Center.
