GlobeSt.com Honors Female Mentors in Commercial Real Estate

In preparation for our Women of Influence special feature and retreat, GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com together is putting a spotlight on the achievements of women in commercial real estate.

This year, we collected nominations across a number of fields, and will celebrate the winners at our GlobeSt. Women of Influence Conference in Park City, UT. This year’s amount of entries was our biggest yet.

For the particular mentor category, we were seeking individuals who have established a record of consistent outreach towards individuals in the commercial real estate field, including professionals and students, or who have contributed to the support or development of mentoring programs within their company or in the broader CRE community. The following women have shown they have a record achievement in offering guidance and fostering development among CRE professionals.

The top women in the category of mentor chosen this year are as follows:

Theresa Fesinstine, Sage Realty

Char Fortune, Avison Young

Bre’an Fox, FS Design Group

Julie Fuhrman, NAI Elliott

Nandi Malindi, Eris Property Group

Vera C. McPherson, W.H.H. Trice & Co.

Erika Meinhardt, Fidelity National Financial Inc.

Misty Moore, JLL

Jennifer Nyquist, Columbia Residential

Tanya Ragan, Wildcat Management

Heidi Roth, Kilroy Realty Corp.

Emily Sobel, Savills

Beth Swanick, Transwestern Real Estate Services

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.

The Annual GlobeSt. Women of Influence Conference celebrates the women who drive the commercial real estate industry forward. These influential leaders will discuss the critical issues facing CRE now and in the future, what it means to be a woman in business today and CRE’s place in the #MeToo era. They will discuss what they are doing to promote diversity in the upper levels of management and what the industry can do to position itself for a more inclusive future.
