Nearly 200 Women
that Rock CRE
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN FOR OUR ANNUAL WOMEN OF
Influence report. We at GlobeSt Real Estate Forum both love and dread thisissue: We love it because we find the applications so inspiring. We dread itbecause we find the applications so humbling. The candidates are, in oureyes, virtual superwomen able to excel in complex careers, negotiate trickyoffice politics and at the same time throw their all into community outreachand charity work. They represent the best and brightest of the commercial realestate industry.
Accompanying the profiles of these women, which can be found starting onpage 24, we have two related features that further explore the role of women inour space. One, written by Natalie Dolce, encapsulates advice given by severalwomen she spoke with on how to climb up the career ladder even when theodds seem stacked against you. The other article takes a look at women of colorin commercial real estate and how they handle the bias and discrimination thatis unfortunately a part of their work lives.
Another item in our Upfront section takes a look at advice on re-openingoffices. Many companies are starting to bring back their employees and need aplan to do so. Our piece offers a good start to that process.
We hope you enjoy this issue and as always, please stay safe.
