Hear what folks who’ve taken our programs have to say:
“The CHAM curriculum takes you from just seeing the individual assets to seeing the portfolio as a whole and its overall impact on the organization. I now look at our portfolio in a more strategic manner, looking for opportunities, identifying weaknesses, and building up strengths.” – Katherine Fleming
“The knowledge and insight provided by these training sessions has really helped me step up into my new role as the Program Manager for Housing Development. Truly, credit goes to CHAM for their partnerships and training because without those my career wouldn’t have been possible.
