Washington, D.C.

Welcome to the RELA Washington, DC Chapter!

‍

‍RELA’s DC chapter provides a dynamic platform for the region’s commercial real estate lending community to learn, connect, and exchange ideas with colleagues and peers across the industry.

‍

We do that through programming that is worth showing up for — speaker events, project tours with in-market developers, and networking opportunities that are built with a lender’s perspective in mind.

‍

As I step into the role of Chapter President, I am committed to continuing what has made this chapter work while finding new ways to bring value to our members. DC RELA has a strong foundation, and my goal is to build on it.

‍

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our members, our panel speakers and I am particularly grateful to our sponsors - Venable LLP, Troutman Pepper Locke, and Joseph J. Blake & Associates for their continued investment in this chapter and community.

‍

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions, ideas, or feedback. This chapter is only as strong as its members, and I welcome all input.

‍

It is an honor to serve as the Washington, DC Chapter President and I look forward to a productive and engaging 2026-2027 year. Thank you for your continued support of RELA.
