A special thank you to BXP for hosting the group in the new Fort Point Room.

The CFL is designed for mid-career professionals to learn from industry leaders and create a cohort of future leaders. The program consists of eight full-day sessions, a half-day tour and a closing luncheon. Sessions are led by outstanding professionals in public and private sector roles in the Boston area.

Each day includes presentations, panel discussions, property tours, small group activities and project analyses allowing class members insight into various market sectors and broadening their perspectives on current issues and opportunities that are relevant to the Greater Boston Region.

Each class is restricted in size to allow full engagement and collaboration in a small group environment. Read more
