NEWiRE hosts Women of Legacy Panel on February 9th

Since its creation in 1982, New England Women in Real Estate (NEWiRE) has been an important force behind the increasing success of women in New England's real estate community. For three decades, NEWiRE has provided a forum for networking and professional development to women in various commercial real estate disciplines throughout the Greater Boston area. One founding goal was to establish the highest quality real estate organization in Boston, where members received the best "take home" value from each meeting and opportunities to get to know each other. As we embark on our 30th year of promoting the advancement of women in commercial real estate, NEWiRE programs continue to be relevant, thought-provoking and informative events for our members. On February 9th, NEWiRE will host its second Women of Legacy Networking Reception and Panel Discussion. The Women of Legacy event provides the opportunity for members and prospective members to learn more about a few of NEWiRE's legacy members who are leaders in the real estate community. We are delighted to have these women together for an evening of candid discussion. This year's panel presentation will include: Tricia Bruno - principal, Tricia Bruno & Associates, Inc.
