In preparation for our Women of Influence special feature and retreat, Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com put together a spotlight on the achievements of women in commercial real estate.
We collected nominations across a number of fields, with the awards to be presented at our inaugural GlobeSt.ELITE Women of Influence Conference and the amount of entries we received this year was our biggest yet.
As always, our seasoned editorial team was seeking the best of the best across the commercial real estate spectrum. In evaluating the entries, we took into account a number of factors, including: the nominee's impact on, and reputation within, her firm and broader professional community; the nominee's professional career highlights, from dealmaking savvy and innovation to client satisfaction and personal growth; a proven ability to achieve goals and display ingenuity in terms of creative thinking and problem solving; her dedication to furthering the development of her field and the role of women within it; accomplishments and involvement in her company, the CRE industry and broader social community; a personal commitment to the highest ethical standards, service and excellence; and so much more.
Keep an eye out for the July/August issue of Real Estate Forum, which will further highlight these individual's accomplishments. This year's list of winners in all categories are as follows:
