Join us for a dynamic conversation at the intersection of community development and commercial real estate. This virtual event brings together Latinx professionals who are shaping the future of the industry across investment, development, and housing.

We’ll open with a keynote address featuring Brenda Loya, Cheif Investment Officer of Raza Development Fund, who will offer a grounded, forward-looking view of today’s policy and financing landscape—highlighting the trends, opportunities, and systemic shifts influencing community development work nationwide. From capital flows to regulatory momentum, our keynote speaker will set the tone for an honest discussion about what’s at stake and what’s possible in the years ahead.

Following the keynote, a panel of leaders from private equity, development, and affordable housing will share insights from their career paths, current projects, and on-the-ground experiences. Together, they’ll explore how community development is not just a social priority but a strategic lever within modern CRE—driving market value, long-term resilience, and meaningful local impact.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or emerging professional, this conversation will deepen your understanding of how community-centered strategies are reshaping CRE and how Latinx talent and leadership are expanding what’s possible in the field.
