It’s important that corporate values align with your own personal and professional goals while providing a nurturing environment for growth including community involvement, training, and flexibility. Ideally, a firm will be passionate about representing and serving the community.
Which professional organization(s) would you recommend to women just starting out in your industry:
I serve on the board of our local Building Owners & Managers Association (BOMA) and have volunteered on several NAIOP committees, and both are excellent local networking and educational opportunities. I’m also active in CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) which provides mentorship and networking opportunities across multiple regions, and in addition to those professional organizations find great value in supporting local non-profits that align with your personal passions.
