Allen Gump, an executive with Colliers International North Texas, was elected to serve on the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors’ national executive committee during the organization’s spring world conference in Palm Springs, Calif. He will serve a four-year term, as vice president in 2014, president-elect in 2015, president in 2016, and immediate past president in 2017.
The last national SIOR officer to hail from North Texas was Peter Baldwin, who served in 1994. He founded The Baldwin Co., which later became Colliers International.
Gump called it a “huge honor to be a part of SIOR leadership, following in the footsteps of so many great people who are responsible for SIOR becoming the preeminent broker organization.”
Based in Washington, D.C., the commercial real estate group has 3,000 members from 630 markets in 34 countries.
Gump previously served the organization as a member of the board of directors and the executive committee, speaker of the council on chapter presidents, and president of the SIOR Foundation. This experience and ongoing service places him in good stead to take the helm as president in 2016, said Richard E. Hollander, executive vice president at SIOR, in a statement.
