Akerman is a sponsor of the 2024 Woman of the Year Gala, presented by New York Women Executives in Real Estate (WX). This annual event honors a woman in New York commercial real estate who has demonstrated a breadth of accomplishments and a long-standing commitment to the industry. This year, WX will honor Peggy DaSilva, Head of Asset Management at PIMCO Prime Real Estate, where she is responsible for actively managing the U.S. portfolio of PIMCO's equity investments.
Proceeds from the event are used to fund scholarships for women entering the real estate profession in the New York City area, and to pay for educational, professional development, and networking events for the organization’s mentoring program and members.
