SAN DIEGO—The legislative and legal areas of NAIOP, as well as community involvement and programs that give back to our military, will be Crosbie Gliner Schiffman Southard & Swanson LLP partner Dawn Saunders' focus as a board member for the CRE development association, she tells GlobeSt.com. Saunders was recently elected to the board of local chapter NAIOP San Diego, joining president Dennis Visser and other directors in promoting the association and the commercial real estate industry through NAIOP's multitude of educational and networking activities as well as legislative affairs strategies.
Saunders, who joined CGS3 earlier this year, has spent more than 20 years concentrating on commercial leasing, primarily within the technology, biotechnology/life sciences and laboratory and manufacturing industries. We spoke with her about this area of the market and her new role with NAIOP.
