‘The Goldie Initiative, a nonprofit that helps prepare women for senior leadership roles in commercial real estate, has received a grant from the Debbie Frank Legacy Fund to support The Goldie Scholars program and establish a strategic partnership with CREW Chicago.

The focus of this strategic partnership is to fund one additional Goldie Scholar associated with a Chicago-area graduate institution. Debbie Frank, who passed away in 2020, was a respected and accomplished leader in the Chicago area commercial real estate community, who was passionate about helping women succeed in the field.

The Debbie Frank Legacy Fund/CREW Chicago/Goldie Scholar will be chosen from among the 2024-25 cohort of Goldie Scholars. With a unique strategy of scholarship, mentoring, networking and skills development, The Goldie Scholars program supports women pursuing graduate-level studies in business, law, design, or management with a focus on real estate.

Join the leaders and dealmakers when they explore the most important topics and trends at Connect Midwest: Multifamily, Affordable, Student & Senior Housing Trends on June 4, 2024, at the W-Chicago, City Center Hotel, Chicago, IL. Register to attend to network with the best in the industry and sit in on discussions you won’t hear anywhere else. Early Bird Registration Ends April 19.
