The Women in Real Estate (WIRE) Club is beginning another busy semester at the Wisconsin School of Business (WSB)! Our first meeting was on Wednesday, September 11th, and over 45 women attended to enjoy Crumbl cookies and to network with like-minded peers. The executive board gave a brief overview of the months ahead, and then female professionals from Gorman & Company spoke about affordable housing, their career journeys, and being empowering each other in a male-dominated industry.
This semester, WIRE has a wide array of events planned to encourage connection among both members and alumni. We will host bi-weekly speaker events with firms from various facets of real estate, a few casual socials, and a career trek to Milwaukee in November. On our fall day trip, professionals from Colliers and Hammes Partners will give company overview presentations and hold Q&A sessions, and Fiduciary Real Estate Development will take us on a tour of a multifamily construction site. 25 WIRE students will attend the trek.
WIRE is an organization focused on creating a welcoming environment for women interested in real estate to learn about the field and form relationships with industry leaders. Through professional development and networking opportunities, we hope to help women widen their breadth of real estate knowledge and gain hands-on expertise.
If you are interested in becoming a member or hosting an event with WIRE, please email womeninrealesate.uw@gmail.com or visit our website womeninrealestateuw.com.
We are looking forward to a great semester and a wonderful year!
