Join the Emerging Professionals of Portland (EPOP) for a happy hour. This month we will be gathering at Taylor Street Tavern in the heart of downtown Portland!

Located inside The Paramount Hotel in downtown Portland. Taylor Street Tavern offers a menu focused on serving locally-sourced ingredients and crowd-pleasing appetizers alongside extensive craft beer offerings and original handcrafted cocktails. 

In February, join us for an evening of learning and professional development, with Monica Wallace.

Monica Wallace is the Regional President of Brokerage for Kidder Mathews, the largest independent commercial real estate brokerage on the West Coast. Prior to her current role, Monica spent over 20 years as a commercial real estate broker specializing in retail leasing and sales. She oversees 150 real estate brokers in 5 offices throughout the Pacific Northwest.

In 2022, she was selected as a “Top Influencer in Retail Real Estate” for GlobeStreet Real Estate Forum. In addition, she was named Commercial Broker of the Year by Washington Realtors and recognized by Bisnow as a Power Woman —an award honoring influential women in commercial real estate. She holds a degree in anthropology from the University of Washington and is currently completing the LEAD program at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Monica believes success in any business is a complex relationship between many factors and is not a one-size-fits-all. But there are some key elements that led her to where she is today. She is excited to share her insights with EPOP.
