GIRL GANG

WHERE IT ALL STARTED ...

GABI AND MICHELLE MET IN A LAS VEGAS NIGHTCLUB DURING THE 2015 ICSC CONFERENCE. BOTH WERE IN THE MIDST OF CAREER TRANSITIONS AND THEIR CONNECTION WAS IMMEDIATE.

THEY BONDED OVER THE LACK OF FEMALE CONNECTIONS IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND DECIDED TO CO-HOST AN EVENT FOR THE WOMEN THEY KNEW. WHAT STARTED AS A MODEST 10 PERSON DINNER QUICKLY TRANSFORMED INTO A 25 PERSON COCKTAIL EVENT HELD AT THE ARLO HUDSON SQUARE. THE FEEDBACK THEY RECEIVED WAS OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE. THE NEXT DAY AN EMAIL WAS CIRCULATED WITH THE TITLE “GIRL GANG” THANKING EVERYONE FOR ATTENDING AND VOLUNTEERING TO HOST AGAIN TWO MONTHS LATER.

FROM THAT POINT ON, GABI AND MICHELLE EMBARKED ON A NEW VENTURE TO HELP WOMEN CONNECT WITH WOMEN. THEY CONTINUE TO HOST EVENTS EVERY OTHER MONTH, ENCOURAGING WOMEN TO NOT ONLY ATTEND BUT ALSO TO SPREAD THE WORD AND INVITE OTHERS FROM THE INDUSTRY. TODAY THE GROUP HAS GROWN TO OVER 1,700 WOMEN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THROUGH A MIX OF ZOOM AND IN PERSON EVENTS THEY HAVE KEPT THE COMMUNITY CONNECTED AND EVOLVING. GIRL GANG HAS RAISED ALMOST $15,000 FOR CHARITIES AND PROMOTED MORE THAN 500 JOB OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE REAL ESTATE MARKETPLACE.
