Join Indiana’s leading commercial real estate organizations including IndyCREW, BOMA, ULI, CCIM and CREA-IN virtually as we join together to discuss this very important topic.  Businesses benefit by having more women in senior leadership roles, yet women remain underrepresented in all facets of commercial real estate leadership, C-suites and boards.  A recent industry research white paper, Accelerating the Advancement of Women in Commercial Real Estate, examines three areas where women continue to be underrepresented in the industry—the talent pipeline; senior executive leadership; and at the corporate board level—and presents an action guide to advance women in each of these critical career areas. Panelists from each partner organization will be represented to share their personal experiences with these obstacles and how their companies are responding to these important issues.  We will also explore the unique barriers women of color face in advancing, and strategies to ensure all women have equal access to opportunities, pay and recognition.  Read the white paper...

Our Speakers:

Trinity Hart - Managing Director, Storie Co. Development & Chair for Mission Advancement, ULI Indiana

In Trinity's tenure in commercial real estate development, she has played a fundamental role in the development of over $150 million in community impact projects consisting of urban infill (mixed-use, multi-family, office, retail and creative space) and adaptive reuse.  The native Oregonian earned a Master’s in Historic Preservation from Ball State University and a Real Estate Finance and Development certificate from MIT. Prior to obtaining her graduate degree, she lived and worked in South Korea and Japan.  She is skilled in managing all facets of the development process, from site selection and entitlement through project delivery, embodying the integrity that’s ingrained in everything she does. Talk with Trinity, and you’ll immediately become aware of the special place in her heart for adaptive reuse of historic structures and infill development that respects the character of communities. When she isn’t focused on transforming neighborhoods, you’ll find her experiencing the world through travel, reading, running, and playing in the snow.
