Letter From The President In this Issue Navigating the Cyber Web .4 Chris McGarey, CCIM®, CPM® 2015 President IREM Las Vegas Chapter 99 Welcome to the summer IREM members!  It has been a very exciting year in Las Vegas and I thank you for electing me to lead our chapter this year.  We have some great programs coming up – you won’t want to miss Sheriff Lombardo in September or John Restrepo in October.  Please note our Installation and Awards banquet is being moved to November 4th so we all may observe the Veteran’s Day holiday the following week. IREM Capitol Hill Visit .6 16. Education Events IREM Highlights .8 18. Industry Partners Congratulations to our newest CPM’s and ARM’s – Annie-Laurie Bushman, David Simonson, Suzanne Cole, Lori Emery, Sarah Gonzales and Fatima Mohamed.   Our golf tournament was one of our most successful to-date and we were able to provide a great benefit to the community by donating the proceeds to Spread the Word.  A huge thank you to this year’s golf committee.  Our IREM Young Professional group has been a credit to our organization with the events they have hosted this year.  The first event at the Tilted Kilt boasted live music by Jeremy Cromwell Project (a group of local artists).  The free drinks, great food and raffle prizes were sponsored by Republic Services, Enviro Safe, Sunland Asphalt, YESCO, Servpro of Downtown Las Vegas, and Berkshire Hathaway.  Our second event at Tommy Rockers had an even better turnout and we thank our sponsors Nationwide Insurance (Chad North Agency), Enviro Safe, YESCO and Triple Crown.  These are great opportunities to meet new members and expand relationships with existing members.  Hope to see you at the next one! 15.
