Membership
Our Mission
The Real Estate Roundtable brings together leaders of the nation’s top publicly-held and privately-owned real estate ownership, development, lending, and management firms with the leaders of major national real estate trade associations to jointly address key national policy issues relating to real estate and the overall economy.
Types of Membership
Roundtable

The Roundtable is open only to chairmen, CEOs, presidents, managing directors (or their functional equivalent) of national, market-leading real estate entities, and to the elected heads of major real estate trade associations. The Roundtable sets the overall policy direction for the organization and emphasizes coordination of advocacy strategies with major real estate trade associations.

Roundtable members are invited to attend all four meetings that are held annually in Washington, D.C.

President's Council

The President's Council is comprised of individuals from leading real estate ownership, financial, management, and advisory entities that are generally more regional in scope. The President's Council focuses on analyzing specific policy issues affecting the economy and the real estate business and developing recommendations for action.

President's Council members are eligible to attend two meetings per year that are open to the entire membership—the State of the Industry and the Annual Meeting.
