AREW: Moving with the times A MESSAGE FROM MICHELE MEDAGLIA PRESIDENT, AREW, 2004-05 PRESIDENT, ACC CONSTRUCTION CORP. Look around you and you'll see women real estate professionals in virtually every company, in every profession, in every position. In the 26 years since AREW's founding, women in the industry have persevered and prospered. From a handful in the 1970's to many thousands today, real estate women have changed both the industry and the landscape. AREW has, of course, also changed with the times. But there is much that hasn't changed. It still takes courage and commitment, strength and intelligence to be a woman real estate professional. And that is where AREW plays a major role. We, as an association, have been opening minds and doors for women real estate professionals for almost three decades. We were founded and grew up in a time when women in real estate were a minority and few and far between. We flourished by providing something rare and exceptional for women--the opportunity to meet, network with, be mentored by, and do business with other women in an environment of learning, genuine supportiveness and sharing. As one of the most prominent women professionals in New York City recently said, "At AREW, it's not just about passing a business card; it's the spirit in which the card is passed." It's about nurturing. About building relationships, skills and self-esteem. About being supportive of each other. Are those women's words? They are at AREW. They are also powerful thought-processes that provide the foundation of AREW's ongoing success such that our presence in the real estate industry as a top-tier organization is unparalleled. On behalf of AREW's officers and board, I invite all real estate men and women to join our ranks, benefit from our cutting edge programs and tremendous networking opportunities and experience the unique difference in associations that is AREW. We are proud to have been selected by Real Estate Weekly to name the Top 50 Women Real Estate Professionals of the Past 50 Years in tandem with the publication's half-century anniversary. These 50 women, in the categories of Pioneers, Current Leaders and Rising Stars, are among the best and brightest in the industry. Honoring them is much more than a list. It is an endorsement of these high-achieving women, as well as for all women in the real estate industry. How far we have come! How far we can go! Pioneers Adrienne Albert Adrienne Albert, a licensed real estate broker in NYS, is nationally recognized as a marketing and sales expert in residential real estate and property development. Through her firm, The Marketing Directors, Inc., Ms. Albert has been responsible for the marketing and sales of over $10 billion in properties. Over the past 20 years, The Marketing Directors has served a wide range of projects, from single-family homes to high-density multi-use development, from NY to CA, and from Toronto to Florida. After graduating from Simmons College, Ms. Albert earned a Master of Architecture from MIT. Though she never formally practiced architecture, her knowledge of (and love for) the field has been of enormous help to countless developers in choosing layouts, amenities and other vital aspects of their projects. A leader in the industry, Ms. Albert pioneered site selling through the use of miniature models, vignettes, electronic media and full size recreations of condominium homes. In addition, she has instituted training programs across the country to raise the standards for other real estate sales professionals. Her success is evident in the large volume of repeat business from top developers throughout country, as well as the many awards she has received over the years, including the Associated Builders and Owners' Woman of the Year Award.
