NREI Weekender | |
| | Right now, almost all of us are working from home. But the commercial real estate industry has always been about getting to know people face-to-face. So, we would like to ask our readers to share a bit of yourselves with us at this unprecedented moment in time. Please share photos of yourselves at your new at-home workspaces, with your new pint-sized and furry co-workers and wearing your new protective gear (with your names and professional affiliations included if possible). We will publish the best images in an online gallery and in a future issue of NREI magazine. We look forward to hearing from and seeing you from a safe distance.
