Breakfast Forums
CCA Breakfast Forums are our most popular events. Open to the public (but cheaper for members--yet another reason to join!). Our Breakfast Forums usually focus on a particular issue: transportation funding, buying brownfields, Measure 37, etc.
The 2012 Columbia Corridor Real Estate Trends & Forecasts presentation (PDF) is now available.
