There are only two metros that entered 2024 with more occupied office space than before the pandemic: 1. West Palm Beach 2. Las Vegas WPB is averaging sub-10% vacancy across all submarkets. This has led to an average rent growth of 2.6% over the last 12 months and 22.4% over the past 3 years. The South Florida market is dynamic, fast-paced, and volatile for tenants. McCann Commercial helps occupiers: • Identify opportunities for new office space • Ensure favorable terms upon renewing in existing space • Securing space for start-up firms • Need to expand, contract, or reconfigure existing space Great research from Sajan Blum who just kicked off his summer internship with the McCann team up in Philly!

Next week marks six months for me as 826NYC's Executive Director, and one of the recurring cautions development folks shared with me when I started was about the "summer slump." If you're not familiar with non-profit fundraising, it tends to run in seasons. Winter is end-of-year giving season. Spring and fall are events seasons. And summer—at least for fundraising—is the dreaded season. But it doesn't have to be. As an educator, I know just how important summer is for our students and our work. While fundraising may fall quiet, our programs do not pause. They do not slump. In fact, they soar. This summer, 826NYC's elementary school camp provides crucial opportunities for young people to learn, create, build social emotional skills, get outside, play, and make connections with one another. 826NYC also runs a robust internship opportunity for high school students to mentor younger students, create unique writing projects, engage in daily professional development, and build their resumes.

When you get to work with your own daughter... Sure, I've seen my daughter Chase Carpenter in action. I've seen how her smile and positive energy can draw people in. I've watched her rally groups of young women, whether it's for pure fun and community development, or it's for a purpose-driven event, meant to move the needle. She's an organized, efficient, and magnetic leader. So you may imagine my pride getting to work alongside her this past summer at The Lola. The Lola is a vibrant, women's community space where I've been co-working for the past year and a half. I've also contributed some work to The LOLA team, helping Dana Xavier Dojnik with project management processes and content marketing; starting and co-leading a weekly accountability group with Melissa Uppelschoten, now led by superstar Qiana Avery, SHRM-CP; and co-facilitating the monthly, in-person Founders & Freelancers group with the incomparable energy-shifter Kafi London. In short, being part of The LOLA community has been my jam. When The LOLA accepted Chase as an intern last spring, I knew she'd fit right in. She understood the assignment: to help support the powerful network of inclusive, female entrepreneurs and women in business who want to build a life and career in which we are constantly growing, thriving and succeeding. It's exciting to see young women realize and embrace their own power. It makes me wish I knew what they already know when I was in my 20s! But it was a different time and we were ALL different people. :) I'm excited to keep my focus on what's ahead for all of us. Because women - young, mid-life and wise - will change the world. Established women in business and emerging female leaders: if you haven't felt it yet, lean in. And lean in HARD, because our time is NOW. #WomenInBusiness #FemaleLeadership #NextGenLeaders #MotherDaughterTeam #EmpowerWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityLeadership #FemaleEntrepreneurs #MentorshipMatters #TheLOLA #WomenWhoLead #CareerGrowth #InclusiveLeadership #YoungLeaders #WomenEmpowerment

As summer is coming to a close and university is in session, we want to highlight our summer 2024 interns for their hard work and commitment to our firm.   We asked each intern to provide what they learned this summer and their most memorable experience at Caldwell. Today, we highlight Zac Driscoll from Western University.   What have you learned? A memorable experience I had at Caldwell was the weekly Chairman meetings. I found during these meetings I was able to learn so much valuable knowledge that I can use to better myself, not only in the world of business, but also as a person. What was your most memorable experience at Caldwell? Something I learned during my time at Caldwell is how to improvise and find new ways to complete tasks. I found that the easiest or most obvious way isn’t always the best. Sometimes you need to think outside the box and do something you would have never thought of doing. By doing this you can find new creative ideas and help spark innovation and invention.

Get to know our team! Today we are featuring Lucas Greenberg our summer intern from Case Western Reserve University! What do you do at UH Ventures in one sentence? - I've been interning with Matthew Zenker and the new UH Haslam Sports Innovation Center with their incoming deal flow. I research, analyze, and compile a variety of data and information to assess sports-medicine and health companies/markets to help accelerate and invest in them. I'm also working on the upcoming SportsLand event with Patricia Colella, MBA, by helping out in all areas of event management. What are your favorite things to do outside of school? - I love to exercise and try new workouts, but more importantly, I love to eat. During COVID, I began cooking and baking as a way to unwind; I try to make a meal four times a week. My favorite dish to make is my grandfather’s shrimp and pea risotto. Favorite binge-worthy TV show? - The Office. I have seen The Office over five times and I can quote certain scenes by heart! What is your favorite restaurant in Cleveland? - Batuqui; a fun Brazilian summer dinner spot. What do you love about Cleveland? - I was born and raised all around Cleveland, and throughout my time, there has been one constant: the people. Everyone from Cleveland has a unique and inspiring story, and I love meeting people from around the world. #Internship #HealthTech #Innovation #EventManagement #Innovation #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #Cleveland

6 useful personal behaviors I’ve instilled during my Woodson Equity internship thus far. 1. Arrive before everyone else; using that quiet time to get settled and focused. Being ready to go as my colleagues arrive sets a productive tone for my day. 2. Breaking my day into hour-long segments. Tracking my activities this way helps me maximize tasks and maintain productivity throughout the day. 3. Use Excel to log my tasks and progress, ensuring everything is organized and easy to follow. Regularly give situational reports my current status on taskers. The work I input into software is almost anonymous, helping my team stay aligned on ongoing projects and responsibilities. 4. Further my connections both in and outside the office. For instance, during my summer I was selected for jury duty in the Northern District Court of Illinois, I met amazing individuals, some whose paths have since crossed with mine during my daily commute. Our mutual commonality in being veterans and working in finance truly demonstrates the power of maintaining connections in unexpected places. 5. Take detailed notes during meetings, tracking key conversations, and sharing those thoughts with my leadership. Asking questions will uncover valuable insights and develop a deeper internship experience. 6. When communicating electronically, always aim for clarity, conciseness, and professionalism. Avoid poor habits like using overly casual language, or unclear phrasing. Review emails and messages to ensure they reflect my best self and convey my thoughts effectively. I’m glad to be apart of this team of skilled individuals while still unraveling so much to learn. #TheWoodsonWay #PrivateEquity #InsideAnInternship
