In March, the Center will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary. As part of the 20th Anniversary, we will hold a NewVisions Gala for both alumni and members to celebrate and recognize the hard work and success of the NewVisions team. In addition, the Center will hold a conference on topics that will serve to spotlight the Center's role as a thought leader in the real estate industry. Our 20th Anniversary promises to be a landmark and celebratory year!
