Purpose: To Recognize Local Visionaries

One of the purposes of the annual CRE Summit™ is to promote leading-edge discussions between all segments of the Commercial Real Estate Industry. We provide a venue to recognize visionaries who have made Pivotal contributions to the real estate industry (Pivot Award™). At the CRE Summit Luncheon, Pivot Award™ winners who exhibit innovation and creativity in various industry categories will be announced.

The Commercial Real Estate Summit’s Board of Directors selects commercial real estate industry professionals who have made Pivotal contributions to the real estate industry during the previous year in several categories, including: Architect, Appraiser, Contractor or Developer, Financing, Public Official and Real Estate Brokerage. (sample categories), not all categories may be awarded in a year.
