One of the key purposes of NOMAR's Commercial Investment Division is to foster professional growth and success through our educational, networking, and scholarship programs. We host a variety of lunch and learns and specialized commercial education classes, in addition to a yearly scholarship and education subsidy program.
Sponsored by Home Bank, the new CID Education Subsidy Program provides financial assistance to CID members seeking to further develop their Commercial Real Estate skills through continuing education. Active CID members are eligible to receive up to $150 from CID toward the cost of CID-approved courses as they pursue the CCIM, SIOR or IREM designations or attend LREC-certified commercial classes or CID-sponsored classes.
To be eligible for the reimbursement, simply complete the course and submit documentation through our online submission form here. Full program guidelines, including eligible courses, can be found here.
