Watch a FRAC webinar with state agency administrators, and anti-hunger advocates who discussed Plans for Operations and Management, what states should be considering for 2024, and how to take the next step. https://lnkd.in/ej8tVFf6

NCREIF Academy Program 2024 March 25 & 28, 2024 Arizona Biltmore NCREIF will be offering Academy courses on the day prior and day after the Spring Conference! Performance Measurement & Benchmarking - March 25 This hands-on course focuses on the commercial real estate return indexes that are the underpinning of benchmarking performance for institutional investors. Students will query the NCREIF database and apply the methodology and formulas to compare properties and funds with appropriate benchmarks. Students will be given the skills to understand, compare, and contrast performance measurement based on both time-weighted returns and internal rates of return. The public market equivalent approach to benchmarking closed-end fund internal rates of return will also be discussed. Performance Reporting & Manager Evaluation - March 28 This course focuses on the interpretation of performance and risk measures for property and fund investments. In other courses, students get into the weeds of formulas and calculations. Here we focus on understanding the application of performance and risk metrics. Through the use of NCREIF data products, investor resources and sample Request for Proposals (RFPs) questions, the course focuses on investment manager, investment fund and/or property asset evaluation by examining performance reporting and risk measurement concepts relative to the Reporting Standards, other authoritative standards and industry usage overall.

📣This event will interest leaders looking at ways to formally recognise experienced members of their workforce with a university qualification. “Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when a higher education institution recognises what you already know, understand and can do before, for example, starting on a programme or module. This eliminates the duplication of learning, meaning you don’t have to relearn things you already know.” ⏩ RPL is a fast-track route for experienced workers to gain univeristy-accredited recognition of their knowledge. 📅 If this is of interest to you or your L&D/HR team, join us on Tuesday 16th Jan to find out more (see comments for website link) Technological University Dublin TU Dublin Enterprise Academy Lucia Walsh, PhD Lesley Murphy Donal O'Brien Thomas Ennis Ann marie Cregan Niamh Walsh Cailín Keaney Brenda Flynn Rosemary Steen Dr. Lisa (Elisabeth) Koep #RecognitionofPriorLearning #RPL #continuouslearning #continuouslearning #professionaldevelopment #L&D #learninganddevelopment #tudublin #tudublinenterpriseacademy #skillsdevelopment

🌟 Reflecting on an engaging WTMC Workshop! 🌟 This week, I participated in the WTMC spring workshop, where we explored the thought-provoking theme of "Endangered Futures." 🔍 We examined this topic from an STS perspective, engaging in critical discussions and exercises aimed at understanding how STS scholarship on 'futures' can serve as a dynamic intermediary in a world fraught with tensions. One particularly engaging exercise involved me getting hands-on with Lego and exploring the concept of action research. 🧱 It was a creative and insightful way to delve into the complexities of our topic, sparking innovative ideas and discussions.
