The Goldie Initiative is pleased to announce that Goldie Scholar Irene Papierek, Master’s in Real Estate (MSRE) student at Roosevelt University and General Manager at Lillibridge Healthcare Services, has been named the CCIM Foundation Goldie Scholarship award recipient for 2019-20.
The CCIM Foundation funded scholarship is limited to women studying commercial real estate at one of its CCIM University Fast Track partner universities, including Roosevelt University. Goldie Scholars attending one of these partner universities were invited to submit an application to be considered as the inaugural CCIM Foundation Goldie Scholar. The CCIM Foundation board of directors reviewed the applicant pool and selected the recipient.
This partnership represents an innovative collaboration between two leading commercial real estate industry non-profit educational organizations. With missions that align closely, The Goldie Initiative and the CCIM Foundation found common ground on an approach that could help both organizations grow their human capital and financial resources, as well as advance female leadership in the industry. Through this partnership approach, The Goldie Initiative is excited to provide a pipeline of new members to CCIM Institute, a premier provider of commercial real estate education and one of commercial real estate’s most influential professional organizations, with members closing $200 billion annually in commercial real estate deals.
In addition to receiving special recognition and scholarship funds earmarked for the CCIM Foundation Goldie Scholar, Irene will receive other benefits including a fee waiver/course vouch to attend course requirements for a Fast Track CCIM Designation and assistance in the process of earning the designation of Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM).
