Az Business and AZRE magazines announced the publications’ lists of the Most Influential Women in Arizona for 2017 in the July issues of the magazines. Azbigmedia.com will be profiling each of the Most Influential Women in Arizona in the coming weeks.

Here is today’s spotlight:

Ericka LeMaster, senior vice president commercial real estate, Alliance Bank of Arizona

LeMaster actively manages a loan portfolio of more than $700 million, all of which is organically originated.

Best decision: “Anyone who knows me, knows the obvious answer is aligning myself with Alliance Bank of Arizona. Alliance Bank is not only an expert in commercial real estate financing, but the bank is 100 percent committed to developing talent and career advancement of their professionals.”

Surprising fact: “I like having fun with fashion, so from the outside, most people would think I’m a girlie-girl. However, I grew up in a very rural area of the White Mountains on lots of acreage with a small farm. I spent the first 10 years of my life climbing trees and chasing chickens, geese, ducks and goats. I am a closet country girl and love the simple things in life.”

The Most Influential Women in Arizona will be honored at a reception from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on August 23 at Chateau Luxe. For tickets or sponsorship information, click here or call (602) 277-6045.
