From Our Alumni

ALC gave me so much in my life, and I want to give that to other people. It’s also a great way to meet future leaders. I’ve met so many all-stars in this business through ALC. It’s funny when people ask ‘How do you know this person or that person,’ and most of the time, it’s through ALC.

Sarah Hinkley Kennington
CEO, Thirty-Four Commercial
ALC Class of 2011, 2021 Chair

ALC was a phenomenal experience for me. I believe it is the gold standard in the real estate industry for young professionals seeking leadership training, especially if you aspire to get more engaged in our city and make an impact on the industry and philanthropically.

Trey Morsbach

2023 TREC Chair
ALC Class of 2001

We always think about our careers, but I think doing this program helps you understand what you want to do for the city, what you want to do with TREC and how to get involved with TREC.
