Background
The API has identified a need to provide an opportunity for its Members to participate in specialist Chapters.
The purpose of these Chapters is to provide a forum for the broad range of property professionals that work in these areas to network, gain knowledge & training and to advocate on issues impacting their area of specialised expertise.
Professional Chapters
These Chapters will have the following elements:
- Membership is open to all financial members of the API working (or looking to work) in the relevant specialist areas;
- Events and Education provided by the Chapter are open to all sector professionals;
- Each Chapter will have a Foundation Chapter Committee, including a Chair and Deputy Chair, appointed by the CEO;
- The Foundation Chapter Committee may recommend the creation of Special Interest Groups as sub-groups within the Chapter.
The Foundation Chapter Committee (including Chair and Deputy Chair) will work with API Staff to:
- Develop a yearly programme for engagement;
- Organise events and activities to support professional development and networking opportunities; and, amongst others,
- Promote API membership amongst property professionals working in the relevant areas of expertise within the Chapter.
