Congratulations to Yvonne Spencer, U.S. Army Veteran, Commercial Real Estate Broker, and Founder of LeadHER CRE™, on being selected as one of eight recipients worldwide of the 2026 CCIM Institute Foundation Veterans Scholarship.
This prestigious scholarship recognizes military veterans who demonstrate exceptional leadership, resilience, and commitment to advancing excellence in commercial real estate. The award provides comprehensive support toward earning the CCIM designation, including education, examination, and qualifying program expenses.
This historic selection reflects Yvonne's unwavering dedication to professional development, community revitalization, and creating opportunities through commercial real estate. Her work as a broker, developer, mentor, and industry leader continues to inspire others while strengthening the future of the profession.
Every barrier broken creates a pathway for someone else to follow. Yvonne is committed to making sure more women, more veterans, and more people of color see commercial real estate as a place where they can lead, build wealth, and leave a legacy.
The CCIM Metro Memphis Chapter proudly celebrates this historic achievement and applauds Yvonne’s commitment to lifelong learning and leadership. We look forward to the continued impact she will make across Memphis and beyond.
Congratulations, Yvonne, on this well-deserved recognition. Your journey exemplifies the power of service, perseverance, and purpose!
