“I really must say that I was very happy with my experience with REAP. It truly awakened my networking skills and created this opportunity. My sincerest thanks to both of you. I would like to continue my involvement as much as possible and certainly consider me as a resource for the Los Angeles, CA Reap class to come. I would like to be actively involved in that and will besure to make myself available to REAP." I will keep in touch and I wish the best for you and your families. Regards, "Minorities are under-represented in the shopping center industry. While we cannot go back and right the wrongs of the past, the future is ours to change. ICSC is therefore supporting REAP, which was created by the Greater Washington Urban League, the Washington Chapter of the American Jewish Committee, and Giant Food." "REAP has a track record as an innovative, market-driven, cost-effective program to recruit and train minorities for professional careers. It has credibility in both our industry and the minority community, and it provides for comfortable interaction between minorities and the traditional real estate community." "One of our outstanding young retail property managers came to us through REAP, and he is a true superstar." "Project REAP gives the industry access to a new pool of property management talent." "Without REAP, I wouldn’t even have gotten an interview. If you’re not in the industry already, it’s hard to break in. It’s a Catch-22." "Before REAP, I never considered commercial real estate as a career. My 12-month Associate position was so successful, I was ultimately offered a full-time, permanent position with a top firm, working with a great and supportive team." "I knew nothing about real estate before starting the class. Now I’m responsible for all the day-to-day functions for the properties I help manage." "We don’t find many candidates trained that well. REAP is a great resource for the industry. There really is not a training ground for what we all do." "There is nothing like REAP in other cities…" "REAP is a template for the future because it affords an opportunity for African-Americans to help themselves." "Project REAP, by changing the face of the real estate industry, has become a template for other industries." “REAP is a win-win. It provides a unique opportunity for minorities to consider a professional career in commercial real estate by offering educational classes, industry networking, and a chance to secure a 12 month "on the job" training experience, while also offering commercial real estate organizations an opportunity to better match the fabric of their customers and communities. NAIOP is strongly encouraging its membership to actively participate in this worthy program.” “[REAP Associate] Sean [Moore] came into our company and hit the road running, quickly establishing his present value and future potential. He has exceeded our expectations and now distinguishes himself as a full-fledged member of the team.” “REAP is a great success story. [Executive Director] Mike Bush is a tireless worker who truly believes in what he’s doing.” |
