NAIOP Wisconsin is proud to celebrate the great work of our members at the Chapter Annual Meeting.  Our awards recognize individuals for their service to the Chapter and industry, as well as development that contributes to building thriving communities.

Starting in 2022, Chapter members will help recognize that work by nominating a peer to receive one of seven chapter awards, including two new ones.  Each of our awards will be member-nominated and judged by a panel of Chapter Past Presidents.  Award winners are listed below!

Each year NAIOP Wisconsin recognizes a Principal Member of the Year and an Associate Member of the Year, recognizing members that go above and beyond to promote the chapter to members, non-members, and the real estate industry; actively participate and lead in chapter activities; and positively represent NAIOP in their professional roles.  The Chapter also recognizes a Development of the Year, a project lead by a NAIOP Wisconsin Principal Member that exemplifies the Chapter mission. Additionally, NAIOP Wisconsin also recognizes a Developing Leader of the Year and a Mike Mooney Award recipient.
