The 2019 NAWRB 10th Anniversary Conference, Redefining Leadership, has passed, but for all the senior executive and industry expert participants, this is just the beginning of newfound relationships and forward-thinking dialogues that were formed during this informative and invigorating professional mastermind event. NAWRB would like to thank Veronica Miracle of ABC7 Eyewitness News, Tami Bonnell of Exit Realty International, and Erica Courtney of ZuluTime for serving as Master of Ceremonies.
The event featured a live interaction of the just released 2019 NAWRB Women in the Housing Ecosystem Report (WHER), which provides the most diverse coverage of the Housing Ecosystem with over sixty resources in six volumes. The housing ecosystem’s prominent industry leaders discussed topics such as Impact Investing and Opportunity Zones, Women on Boards, Mastermind Collaboration, Access to Capital, Family Offices, STEM and Media, and the Aging Population. All copies of the 2019 NAWRB WHER were sold out at this event!
An overarching theme for participants was the power of relationships and helping one another reach their unique goals. Industries and individuals across the housing and real estate ecosystem are capable of achieving greater social impact together than they can alone.
Having a wide breadth of knowledge from an array of industry professionals representing the economic ecosystem is a fitting demonstration of the NAWRB’s growth in the last ten years. With combined resources and expertise, NAWRB is building a dynamic resource for future generations. Participants at the conference helped enrich research and development for the 2020 NAWRB WHER.
For those who missed this incredible informative event filled with rich synergy, novel ideas and new opportunities, content from the conference will be available online in the coming weeks!
