Nominations are now being accepted for the 2012 Women In Real Estate Awards Program being held on Sept. 27 at the University Club of Chicago. The Awards Program, now in its fifth year, is hosted by the Illinois Real Estate Journal.
“To truly recognize the role women play in real estate in Chicago, we’d like to have as many women nominated as possible,” Mark Menzies, Publisher, Illinois Real Estate Journal, said. “Then we have a better understanding of what women in real estate—the up and comers, the mentors and those in their prime—are doing.”
Awards will be presented in five categories:
- The Bright Horizon Award: presented to a woman who in five years or less, through her professional work and accomplishments and charitable involvement, has demonstrated that she will be one of the industry’s leaders in the years to come.
- The Community Service Award: given to the woman who in addition to her career in real estate shows compassion for her community through her involvement and support for programs and organizations that benefit those less fortunate.
- The Crystal Apple Award: given to the woman who serves as a mentor to other women, teaching them and supporting their growth in the industry.
- The Career Achievement Award: given to the woman who over the course of her career has contributed greatly to the commercial real estate industry, achieving great things for her clients and serving as a role model for her peers.
- The Impact Awards: given to as many as three women who have had a significant impact on the commercial real estate industry because of the work they have completed/been involved in during 2011 and 2012. This impact can be the result of virtually any line of work in commercial real estate, from brokerage and development to legal and design.
