“Woman ICON has become one of AZCREW’s most anticipated traditions, and its impact reaches far beyond our membership into the broader commercial real estate community,” said AZCREW President Nicole Solar, with Olsson. “This event is a powerful reminder of our collective commitment to advancing women in our industry. By recognizing a Woman Icon, we are showcasing the leadership, talent and power that we have right here in Arizona.”
“The Rising ICON Scholarship is another key cornerstone of the 2026 ICON event,” said AZCREW President-Elect Carol Schillne, with ORION Investment Real Estate. “AZCREW is about opening doors for women. This scholarship carries that legacy forward in the most tangible way, by investing directly in the women who will lead our industry into the future.”
Sponsored by AZCREW members and former Woman ICON honorees Beth Jo Zeitzer of R.O.I. Properties and Jackie Orcutt of CBRE, the $5,000 scholarship offers funds for licenses, prep courses, exams and other professional development expenses for women who are new to brokerage, recent college graduates or current professionals looking to transition into commercial real estate brokerage.
