New Fee Structure Provides Economic Benefits for Members
To help members cope with the tough economy, IOREBA has implemented a new membership fee program. The new structure makes attendance at events more economical for members.

“In the history of this organization, networking has always been a main focus,” stated Dave Violette, outgoing president of IOREBA and vice president of Colliers Houston & Company. Charles Logan reinforces the work that has been done by all past presidents and is looking forward to expanding on their hard work. “There is a deep value in networking and working together during tough times, and the 2009-2010 calendar features more of these events for that purpose in addition to the content of the programs.”
