Official Charity: Real Estate Program at the University of Central Oklahoma

We have adopted the academic Real Estate Program at the University of Central Oklahoma as our primary charity. The program's director, Dr. David Chapman (also a REALTOR®) is our Academic Liaison. We are planning regular events with the University:
.
Town and Gown Networking and Fundraising Event :  Once during Spring and Fall semesters we sponsor a fund-raising / CE event networking event with continental breakfast where you can meet and interact with future real estate industry professionals. Networking will begin about 30 minutes before a class is scheduled to begin.  Donations will be requested to benefit the Real Estate program and its Scholarships. For those wishing to stay, that class session will also qualify as a CE class towards license renewal.
.
Professionals wishing to establish formal Internship/apprentice programs with UCO's Real Estate Program should contact
Dr. David Chapman (program coordinator) to understand the requirements of both the university and licensing agencies.  The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce's GreaterGrad website is a resource for nonacademic internships.

The goals of the Central Oklahoma Commercial Association of Real Estate are to both enhance the business opportunities of its members through access to information, education and networking events, as well as provide government advocacy.  We seek to achieve these goals in the following ways:

  • Advocacy - helping state and local governments achieve objectives that are consistent with our profession. We also monitor legislative and regulatory activities and report to members, including an annual report to the Oklahoma City Council on the impact of impact development fees.
  • Community Outreach - Good communities are good business; we actively try to make our communities better 
    .     We provide news of the Central Oklahoma commercial real estate markets through our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/cocarokc
  • Education - Continuing Education is a cornerstone of any professional organization.  Additionally, we partner with the UCO Real Estate Program (our official charity) and the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce to promote student internships for the professions.  We also sponsor Town & Gown CE / Networking events as a way for Real Estate Licensees to receive CE Credit and UCO students to meet real estate professionals.
    .       The annual Commerc ial Bus Tour   is an
    annual three part event with  
    a theme that
    examines an issue of 
    concern to the
    commercial real estate community at lunch,
    tours  various commercial buildings that 
    exemplify the theme, and concludes with a
    with a networking event.  Continuing Education credit, through the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission, is often offered for the lunch event. 
  • Networking - Social Networking is a way to increase business opportunities.  Most of our events will have a "Needs and Wants" session where members can make presentations of their business opportunities.
