Welcome to the Second Edition of Real Contributions |
|
|
|
A few weeks ago, we introduced Real Contributions, a newsletter committed to bringing the industry timely research, practical insights, and conversations that matter to the institutional real estate community in the defined contribution arena.
This collaboration between the Defined Contribution Real Estate Council (DCREC) and RELPI has been met with strong and positive feedback along with some practical and innovative ideas to bring even more news and information on a more frequent basis.
With that, we’re continuing our mission with Real Contributions with a bi-weekly edition offering much more actionable information and intelligence through original content and aggregation of some of the most important articles released in highly respected media. Thank you again for joining us on this journey and look forward to growing together. |
