NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: SPRING 2021
AFIRE members and other readers of Summit Journal may notice that the newest issue looks a bit . . . different?
That’s because it is.
Since AFIRE first launched Summit in 2018, each issue has grown in length, sophistication, and reach. As much of the world went virtual in 2020, and as organizations and leaders sought fresh ideas and stable communities to help guide their decisions during an unprecedented time in the world, Summit also became an increasingly important resource for thought leadership in commercial real estate investing.
This mixture of timing, relevance, and the innovative insights of AFIRE members and guest contributors allowed Summit to grow in influence over the past year, and even earned some industry accolades along the way (2020 MarCom Platinum Award, 2020 Graphic Design USA Award, 2021 AVA Digital Platinum Award).
As AFIRE seeks to continually elevate our products and programs through 2021 and beyond, we’ve introduced a new design style for Summit. It’s simpler, cleaner, and intended to prioritize the ideas—and challenges to popular opinion—that serves AFIRE’s core mission of helping one another become Better Investors, Better Leaders, and Better Global Citizens.
As a result of these changes, this issue of Summit journal is our largest issue to date, covering all sides of the real estate industry, including a look at social trends, industry outlooks, asset class analyses, business leadership and talent development ideas, development strategies, and ESG.
And for the first time ever, this issue also features two extended white papers (“Rather Than the Flood” and “Rising Pressure”), presenting original research, that will feature expanded and illuminated features at Summit’s digital home, right here.
