PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Philadelphia Chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women celebrated the 20th anniversary of its fall fundraising luncheon by honoring 20 distinguished female leaders in the commercial real estate community at a lavish event attended by more than 800 people in Philadelphia's cavernous Pennsylvania Convention Center.
“We just want everyone to see how amazing women are in commercial real estate,” says Stephanie J. Sprenkle, a partner with Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel, 2018 president of CREW Philadelphia. “We're recognizing 20 women for shaping the Philadelphia landscape. These women have made a powerful impact on the region in the various industries that make up commercial real estate. It is far too often that when you get to a deal or a project, you're the only woman in the room. We don't have enough women at the c-suite level that other women can look to or aspire to. I think that's what is so important about these women, they are the women we aspire to be.”
