Membership Education Accreditation
For a number of years Property Managers engaged in the management of rental housing units were conscious of their lack of status and professionalism. These concerns were recognized by senior levels of government, and a feasibility study was initiated. This study confirmed the need for a professional organization and resulted in the establishment of The Institute of Housing Management, which was incorporated on January 16, 1976.
The members of the steering committee, at their initial meeting, unanimously endorsed the concept of the formation of a professional association, with appropriate standards set for eligibility for membership and accreditation.
The IHM Board of Directors has undertaken periodic review of the accreditation process and the aims and objectives of the Institute to remain current with today's professional and competitive property management envrionment. The original concept was subsequently modified to reflect the changing needs of the industry and to allow for a broader industry scope which would include those employed in industrial and commercial property management as well as those in the rental property management industry.
Education
