Letter from the President
2008 - Year of Renewal!
2008 officially marks the 10th year
of the Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) as an incorporated
organization. The Institute is dedicated to the promotion of
professionalism and effectiveness of the disciplines of real
property management within the federal public sector.
As we continue the course of developing
and fostering a high professional standard of real property
management, the Institute will be seeking ways to renew itself
in responding to the needs expressed by its community. Consequently,
our focus will be on the following four (4) key priorities:
Professional Development
- Collaborate with academic institutions in providing professional
development training to our real property managers; and,
- Collaborate with the Treasury Board of Canada, Secretariat
in the development of a professional development and certification
program for the federal real property community.
Partnerships
- Establish partnerships with academia, as well as other
public and private sector organizations, in areas of mutual
interests, including the delivery of national and regional
events, training sessions, seminars, and panel discussions
on economic, social and environmental issues affecting the
management of real property.
National/Regional Workshops
- Review and re-engineer the delivery of regional and national
workshops to better reach out to the 5,000 plus employees
from multiple disciplines within the real property community.
Awards and Recognition
- Enhance the visibility and recognition of the efforts and
successes of our peers.
As a result, governance committees will
be established for each priority and will be composed of Board
Directors and members of the real property community. Your
participation on these committees is critical to the success
of these initiatives as well as the renewal of the Real Property
Institute of Canada.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre St-Amand
President
