be flexible and alert to opportunities in these tough times. Most
women are up to that challenge, I believe. From the association’s
view, a down economy reminds policymakers that jobs matter and
that our industry provides those jobs. We find ourselves in an
excellent position to foster legislative reform that will benefit our
state and industry.”

Key Issue: “Women bring a unique set of talents to the table
in any industry, but especially in the intricacies of getting
deals done in commercial real estate. We need to showcase these
talents instead of trying to fit ourselves into the standard mold
of what a commercial real estate professional has been perceived
to be. By bringing these assets to the table, we’re growing the CRE
world and demonstrating to young women that women are
innovators and leaders.”
