CREC Bay Area is pleased to announce our second monthly “Lunch and Learn series.” These lunches are intended to be a casual forum where we sit around a table and have a leader in our real estate industry either discuss an industry specific topic or share his/her insights on a successful career.

In addition to learning new things from our presenters, our goal is to provide an informal environment for fellow Cornellians to network and join our club.

Please join us on Thursday, November 8th, 2018, at St. Michael’s Alley, Palo Alto, with our fellow board member of CREC, Bay Area, Ed Kavounas.

Overall, Mr. Kavounas has 40 years of experience in real estate investment and development of office, technology, apartment and hotel properties in key U.S markets, on behalf of over 150 institutional and private investors.
