MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

摘要

For the past thirteen years this message has come from Steve Pyhrr, who as Executive Director was instrumental in transitioning ARES from its first couple decades as an emerging upstart into an established association. Steve's dedication to ARES through his 'major volunteer service position' in many ways established the standard for the culture of service that pervades our organization today, and in the process provided remarkable stability and continuity that has become an accepted norm. Advancing ARES' mission of real estate theory into practice and building bridges between academia and industry has also symbolized Steve's tenure as executive director. It was a decade ago that he was a driving force behind launching the Critical Issues Seminar that has now become a fixture kicking off our annual conference.
