KEYVAN GHAHREMAN
Vice Chair of Program Committee
Holder Construction Company
What’s your committee role at CoreNet?
The Programs Committee plans and organizes the Arizona chapter’s monthly luncheons, networking events and annual signature event. The committee selects the topics for each program, develops the publicity, and promotes attendance at our events. The committee strives to relate program content to the trends within and evolution of the corporate real estate market.

What are the goals of the Planning Committee and how will they be achieved?
My goal is to continue building on our successful events, and to challenge the Program Committee members to reach into their respective industries to find the best program topics that have a high impact for our membership. With the diversity of our committee and CoreNet membership, we are fortunate to be able to leverage a broad network and talent pool in this effort.

Membership Committee
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank
What is your role at CoreNet?
The Membership Committee is responsible for finding and retaining CoreNet members and collaborating with other committees.

What are your goals in your chair position and how will these be achieved?
Our goal for this year is to grow the membership base by 20 percent. First, our goal is to start with the existing members renewing for 2014. Historically we have a big drop off in memberships each year… so this goes back to focusing on our members in helping them get involved in CoreNet with whatever their interests may be. Secondly, is recruiting the right members. The focus and goal for CoreNet here in Arizona is to have each end-user as a member. Arizona in general isn’t a big end user market so we also focus on other industries and potential members that have some type of affiliation in CRE.
