Meet the Most Influential Women in CRE for 2017

The 16 women who made AZRE’s list of the Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate for 2017 are an extraordinary bunch. While that seems implied in the recognition, it’s something that goes beyond their professional achievements. Many of these had to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to make their marks in a male-dominated industry. You’ll meet a yogi, a former motocross racer, a skilled hunter, and one woman who has found her passion is being of service to other women who are struggling. While all of the Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate likely know what it’s like to be the only girl in a boys’ club, they also know the impact they are making as strong women who are are changing their communities and their industry. And, all of them are changing the Arizona landscape one deal, one building, one drawing and one deadline at a time.

The Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate will be honored at a reception from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on August 23 at Chateau Luxe. For tickets or for sponsorship information, email events@azbigmedia.com or call (602) 277-6045.
