Student Initiative

    Student Memberships are available for NAIOP!

    You are eligible for Student membership if you are a full-time student who is not otherwise employed in the commercial real estate industry. Student members are eligible for reduced membership rates ($56 for NAIOP Piedmont Tiad). Click here for more information.
    Note: Following graduation, a student will no longer be able to renew membership through the student membership program, but will retain the membership through their expiration date. If, after graduation, you are qualified to continue membership in another membership category, you will be contacted by NAIOP staff and instructed accordingly. This category does not renew automatically. You will be asked to provide documentation every year.
