Lafayette Resident Receives ECHO Award
The East Bay chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women named Lafayette resident Patricia Curtin of Wendel, Rosen, Black & Dean LLP as one of the winners of the ECHO Awards at their third annual Honors and Ovations award ceremony Oct. 24 in Walnut Creek. These awards recognized four winners who fulfilled the mission of CREW by demonstrating a commitment to advancing women in commercial real estate. "The commercial real estate profession is male dominated and we want to showcase the incredible deals, companies and professional women who demonstrate outstanding success and pave a way for unlimited opportunities for future generations of men and women in this industry," said Teresa Goodwin, chapter president of East Bay CREW and regional director of HPA Architecture. Mike Consol, editor for the Institutional Real Estate Letter and Tillie Ross, vice president for Old Republic Title Company, served as co-host and emcee of the event. Curtin was named Sustained Leader in Commercial Real Estate, an award honoring women with more than 10 years of experience in the field of commercial real estate who have made a significant contribution to the field, while also demonstrating their leadership in their field and community.
