DC Metro CHPA Network Connection Recap

May 6, 2019

TruPlace is pleased to have co-hosted the DC Metro CHPA Networking event with Streamline CHS, Corporate Apartment Specialist, and Attaché last Thursday evening. The event took place at Ballston Place in Arlington, VA. with phenomenal attendance.

Before the actual event, a few of us had the opportunity to volunteer at DC Central Kitchen helping to prepare meals. Annually, DC Central Kitchen prepares over 3 million meals for those in need around the capital and offers vocational training and other resources to help combat the problems facing the area.

The evening networking event brought in industry leaders from across the region and the highlight of the night was guest speaker Christina Winn, the Director of Business Investment for Arlington Economic Development. Since 2014 Christina has led Arlington’s efforts in business retention, national recruitment, and entrepreneurial support. She was instrumental in the recruitment of Amazon HQ2 to the National Landing area and presented on the impact of Amazon on the region and specifically with regard to housing and business tourism.

Tania Odabashian stated, “It was a great event. The networking was great as always, but the speaker was amazing. For TruPlace on behalf of CHPA to land Christina Winn, Chief Architect of what Washington Business Journal is calling the “Deal of a Lifetime” was a major score.”

We’d like to thank everyone who volunteered their time and everyone who attended this event. It was our first go at organizing and sponsoring a CHPA event and it will not be our last. Thank you.

“This event was a resounding success. It showcases the value and importance of connecting with your industry colleagues and expanding your and your company’s networks. CHPA is so grateful for the support provided from Corporate Apartment Specialists, Streamline and TruPlace in coordinating and managing this opportunity for DC metro members and professionals,” remarked CHPA Director of Membership, Nick Estrada.

A huge thanks to Move For Hunger for organizing the event for us, we love working with you!
