How Associations Find Their Home
Associations and nonprofits are getting hipper about their work places and even more savvy about their real estate strategies.
Yesterday morning, Youth for Understanding USA president Mike Hill said at Bisnow’s Real Estate Strategies for Associations and Law Firms event that the lines are blurring between for-profits and nonprofits when it comes to office design and location. YFU, an intercultural student exchange program, recently moved from a remote location in Bethesda to DC’s Shaw neighborhood, which is not only helping transform the nonprofit’s image but also contributing to recruitment of younger workers. Young talent doesn’t accept that nonprofit office space has to look less than a for-profit’s space.
