We are thrilled to share the success of our inaugural REET Institute cohort in Calgary this past spring! Our scholars were divided into three outstanding teams: ➡ Team Ryan: Guided by the expertise of Michelle Pink, Scott Powell, and Kyle Pasta ➡ Team Oxford Properties Group: Mentored by the talented Jace Jonsson ➡ Team BOMA Calgary Over the course of eight transformative weeks, eight courageous scholars went on an exciting journey into the world of commercial real estate with the help of their facilitators Lorena Jonsson (Garcia) and Franky Huynh. Each scholar's dedication and hard work culminated in a nail-biting competition for the prestigious $10,000 scholarship sponsored by Altus Group. Our judges for the 2024 Calgary Pitch Competition presented by Altus Group included: ➡ Lisa Miller, Director of Property Management at ONE Properties ➡ Martin Lee, Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis at Canadian Urban Limited and Facilitator for our REET Institute Edmonton Cohort ➡ Sorab Gill, Vice President of Asset Management at Canadian Urban Limited and Facilitators for our REET Institute Edmonton Cohort ➡ David Shum, Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield ➡ Morley Barr, Senior Vice President at Aspen Properties Our scholars navigated real-world challenges, applied their newfound knowledge, and gained invaluable insights from their facilitators and mentors. The experience provided them with a solid foundation in commercial real estate, preparing them for bright futures in this dynamic field. Hear directly from our scholars as they reflect on their experiences and growth throughout the program. Their stories highlight the impact of mentorship and the power of education. A big thank you to our generous sponsors who made the Calgary Spring Cohort possible. Your support is instrumental in shaping the next generation of real estate professionals.
