“More women- and minority-owned businesses at the table make our developments better. As leaders, we can continue to support institutions like the Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate,” noted MBIRE honoree Regina Stilp, founding principal of Farpoint Development, in her acceptance speech Oct. 24, 2024.
