Chapters and Divisions
In order to promote ongoing exchange of ideas and provide a platform for peer to peer support and development, the REIV has an active culture of working through Chapters and Divisions.
REIV Chapters bring together real estate professionals with a specialist skill or area of interest and Divisions bring together members in geographic areas for greater ongoing interaction and more customised professional development opportunities.
Each Chapter and Division has a core committee that provides a forum to champion issues, ideas and opportunities. Chapters and Divisions organise and design events that focus on practical insights and current issues relevant to them. Participation in these events also contributes towards CPD.
