NAIOP South Florida, a Commercial Real Estate Development Organization, will welcome Forbes Media Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes for a presentation titled “Navigating the Economy for Business Growth and Success” at its chapter meeting on Thursday, September 14 at the NSU Museum of Art, located at 1 E. Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

Following the presentation in the newly renovated auditorium, which will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m., a cocktail reception will take place within the Museum of Art.

“This event is part of an extensive programming initiative that our chapter leadership started a few years ago,” said NAIOP South Florida Board of Directors President Greg Martin. “Our goal was to bring the expertise of global thought leaders and influencers to our members in South Florida, who actively shape and participate in our regional business community. I’m thrilled that we are kicking off this initiative with such an incredible speaker as Mr. Forbes.”
