Young Leaders With Chapter Mentors
A dozen of the chapter's finest -- senior executives from some of the most prominent companies in the market -- met with more than 30 Young Leaders for an evening of "speed-mentoring." The fast-paced event enabled Young Leaders to pick the brains of senior real estate leaders during two-minute Q&A sessions. A networking cocktail reception rounded out the evening, which took place on May 25 at Table 31 in Center City. Special thanks to Young Leader Co-Chair Alex Bord of Comcast and Chapter President Ken Zirk of CB Richard Ellis for organizing the evening and recruiting a stellar roster of mentors.
