CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) Inland Empire’s June luncheon will examine how changing public opinion and establishing new legislative policy can help get commercial real estate development moving again.

Featured speakers include City of Corona Councilwoman Karen Spiegel, Christine Iger, president of Iger & Associates Government Interface Consultants, and Jennifer Guenther, shareholder at Gresham Savage Nolan & Tilden, APC who will speak about the public, political and economic obstacles that can ground commercial development, and how to overcome them. These obstacles can add years to a project’s timing and approval, and significantly increase the financial burden on its investors. Speakers will discuss current trends in public outreach and new legislation that is helping developers proceed with their projects.

Business executives, real estate professionals and anyone with an interest in the project are invited to attend.

The cost of the event is $35 for members and $45 for non members before May 27. Register at www.crew-ie.org.

WHEN:          Wednesday, June 1, 2011 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

WHERE:       Holiday Inn Ontario Airport 2155 E. Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA
