The Goldie Initiative Celebrates Award Winners at Annual Impact Summit

The Goldie B. Wolfe Miller Women Leaders in Real Estate Initiative recently held its 3rd annual Impact Summit at the Union League Club of Chicago.

The event, attended by over 200 commercial real estate industry professionals, focused on recognizing volunteers, mentors, and donors for their contributions to improving the commercial real estate industry and to demonstrate the impact of the organization’s program on Goldie Scholars over the 2025-26 school year. Additionally, the event celebrated all in attendance, including 2026 graduates and award winners.

Impact Summit Award Winners were honored for their contributions based on the four pillars of The Goldie Initiative’s programming: Scholarship, Networking, Mentoring and Leadership. This year’s program was expanded to include The Goldie Initiative’s Networking Power Circles, an interactive session that brought the organization’s networking approach to a broader audience. Guests were invited to attend the 10th annual Goldie Gala Chicago in September, honoring Shero Award winner Lisa Konieczka of CBRE.
