Participants will include representatives from the Henderson Institute Advisory Board as well as other Drexel University community members. The Goldie Initiative will be represented by Ms. Wolfe Miller and CEO Megan Abraham, Philadelphia-area real estate students and other industry professionals.
The Goldie B. Wolfe Miller Women Leaders in Real Estate Initiative (‘The Goldie Initiative®”), a nonprofit organization that prepares women to advance as leaders in commercial real estate by providing financial and professional support, has partnered with Drexel University as part of its recent expansion into the Northeast United States. Since 2007, The Goldie Initiative has created a professional community of women with extraordinary academic and leadership potential, known as Goldie Scholars, with a Midwest focus, until recently.
With a unique strategy of scholarship, mentoring, networking and skills development, The Goldie Initiative cultivates talented women into future leaders. The program supports women pursuing graduate-level studies in business, law, design, or management with a focus on real estate. Nearly 40 Goldie Scholars are currently studying in real estate-related programs at nearly 20 universities nationwide, including many located in the Northeast. The organization was founded by Ms. Wolfe Miller, who remains actively involved.
Nationally celebrated as a renowned deal maker, Ms. Wolfe Miller is known as one of the country’s top commercial real estate brokers. In her 40-year, award-winning career, she has completed approximately $3 billion in transactions, making her one of the country’s most successful female real estate brokers, and also one of the industry’s most sought-after professionals.
