Associate Leadership Council

The Real Estate Council's Associate Leadership Council (ALC) is a leadership development program designed to encourage 27 to 37 year olds in the commercial real estate industry to assume leadership roles in the community. As part of this educational leadership program, the class selects and implements a real estate-related community service project. When they finish their 10-month program, class members can become a part of the ALC Alumni Association and participate in ongoing events and activities.

The 2012-2013 ALC class Legacy Project is REAL School Gardens. With $40,000 in funding from The Real Estate Council Foundation and additional funds and in-kind donations raised by the ALC class, REAL School Gardens will build state-of-the-art outdoor classrooms at two high-poverty elementary schools. The $40,000 grant covers the costs of materials and a limited amount of skilled labor required to build these learning spaces, enabling the organization to focus its financial resources on two years of intensive teacher training in the outdoor classrooms. REAL School Gardens has established outdoor learning programs at 81 elementary schools across the region. More than 92% of the outdoor classrooms created continue to be actively used for teaching and learning. The Real Estate Council’s Associate Leadership Council will provide architecture, construction, engineering, marketing and fundraising services.
