By   ·  1 minute read

Since 1983, GlobeSt Real Estate Forum has recognized women who significantly influence the real estate profession and drive the industry forward with their Women of Influence program. These are the leaders shaping commercial real estate, managing the critical issues facing CRE today, and positioning the industry for a more inclusive future.

Entries are evaluated based on several factors, including:

  • The nominee’s impact on, and reputation within, her firm and professional community
  • Professional career highlights, from innovation to client satisfaction and personal growth
  • A proven ability to achieve goals and display creativity and problem-solving skills
  • 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 community
  • A personal commitment to the highest ethical standards
