Three chapters of Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) — Greater Metropolitan Washington D.C. Chapter 8, Northern Virginia Chapter 77, and West-Central Maryland Chapter 92 — held their first IREM Gala in May of 2006. The event was created as a dinner dance for charity. In 2020, we are excited that Maryland Chapter 16 will be joining the other three chapters as one of the hosts of this event. Since its inception in 2006, IREM has selected Special Love for Children With Cancer as the charity that would receive 100 percent of the proceeds from this event.
