Goldie Initiative Names Former Executive Director as Its First CEO

The Goldie B. Wolfe Miller Women Leaders in Real Estate Initiative, a nonprofit organization founded by Goldie B. Wolfe Miller in 2007 to prepare women for senior leadership roles in all commercial real estate sectors, has appointed Megan Roth Abraham, former executive director at The Goldie Initiative from 2016-2020, as the organization’s first CEO.

Abraham most recently served as chief advancement officer of JCC Chicago. She brings longstanding nonprofit leadership experience, including roles at the National Association of Realtors and other organizations.

“We are delighted to have Megan back at The Goldie Initiative,” said Wolfe Miller, founder, chair and president. “When she first joined our team in 2016, Megan not only helped us expand into the 18 schools we currently serve nationwide, but she was also instrumental in helping us to launch our now annual Goldie Gala event. I am thrilled to have her at the helm as CEO.”
