Commercial Real Estate Leader Colliers International Connects Globally, Fosters Community

National Meeting in San Diego demonstrates commitment to employee growth

SEATTLE and SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tomorrow, Colliers International kicks off its annual National Meeting in San Diego. This three-day event is just one of the ways in which Colliers showcases its enterprising spirit by recognizing the achievements of the industry's top performers, sharing best practices, and bringing together top leaders from around the world to help shape the future of commercial real estate.  

The National Meeting will bring together more than 1,400 professionals from its U.S. operations and key stakeholders from around the globe.  

"Our event not only shows Colliers' investment in top talent, but also demonstrates our commitment as a company to support local communities," said Jim Spain, regional managing director for Colliers in San Diego, and the meeting's host.  "We're thrilled to welcome so many professionals to San Diego and we're really excited to be able to give back to the local community where we work and live."

While in town, Colliers is raising funds in support of a national charity with strong ties to the San Diego community: the Fisher House Foundation. Colliers is raising funds through personal donations and by hosting a 5K run/walk on October 4 along the Embarcadero. The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military families in their time of need.

The national meeting is also a cornerstone of the collaborative culture and deep expertise that Colliers has made a central part of its success. "We continue to see payoff in productivity, performance and energy when our teams come together, form connections and share experiences," said Dylan Taylor, CEO of Colliers International U.S. "We believe that bringing our professionals together is invaluable and has helped us launch new initiatives, service lines and industry innovations, such as our New Generation practice group. Our people are the life and breath of this company, and we want to make sure they remain inspired and equipped with the tools and expertise they need to be industry leaders and accelerate our clients success."
