SIOR was founded during World War II as SIR, Society of Industrial Realtors, when the war production board requested assistance in locating plant space that could be utilized for the production of defense, and later war material, for the impending war abroad. The US relied on these future SIR members to locate and acquire or lease the manufacturing and distribution space needed to fight and win World War II. Fast forward to today where SIOR's (office members were added in 1986, thus becoming SIOR) relevance continues to be felt on the world stage, with 3,100 members across 34 countries in 48 chapters. But SIOR is not content to rest on its laurels and bask in ceremonial celebrations.
Meanwhile, each year Real Estate Forum puts a call out for the industry to send their most impressive young professionals. And each year, the number of increasingly qualified candidates rises, and their diversity broadens. These trends reflect the overall demographic changes, as the number of Echo Boomers (or Millennials) start making their collective influence felt. Will it have the major impact some pundits attest, or will the cohort fall into similar patterns as previous cohorts? Only time will tell, but in the meantime the honorees in our 50 under 40 are setting a prime example for the rest of their CRE peers.
