Turner: In addition to focusing on commercial real estate publications and industry organizations, we believe that in order to truly understand the opportunities and trends, you have to have a global view of the industry. Understand how demographic changes are impacting those trends, and continuously look for ways to tap into those opportunities. Those opportunities aren’t always so obvious or part of a national sponsor’s offerings and sometimes they can present themselves in your local community, which is how the Mainstreet story began.
The Institute for Innovation Development is an educational and business development catalyst for growth-oriented financial advisors and financial services firms determined to lead their businesses in an operating environment of accelerating business and cultural change. We position our members with the necessary ongoing innovation resources and best practices to drive and facilitate their next-generation growth, differentiation and unique community engagement strategies. The institute was launched with the support and foresight of our founding sponsors—Pershing, Voya Financial, Ultimus Fund Solutions, Fidelity, and Charter Financial Publishing (publisher of Financial Advisor and Private Wealth magazines).
