Stirling Collaborates with Tulane Real Estate Club
Earlier this month, Jordi Goodman represented Stirling Properties on a panel of young professionals in Real Estate in the Greater New Orleans area put on by the newly-formed Tulane Real Estate Club (TREC). The Panel discussion centered on the role of young professionals in the present and future commercial real estate industry in New Orleans. This marked the second presentation from Stirling to TREC and solidified the beginning of an exciting new connection between Stirling and TREC, or broader, between the Real Estate Industry and Higher Education in New Orleans. TREC’s mission is to provide a venue for students and professionals to network and learn through meetings, guest lectures, and site visits.
The Commercial Real Estate industry is evolving very quickly. As it evolves, the range of professions becomes more diverse, expanding the breadth and volume of available opportunities and career paths to recent graduates. Dedicated Real Estate classroom study not only trains the next generation of real estate leaders, but pushes the envelope on studies and best practices within the industry. Stirling cares deeply about the Tulane community and is proud to support its student’s efforts in the study of Real Estate. We are extremely optimistic about having a channel to collaborate with such a meaningful group of students and faculty in the MBA and MSRED programs. Stirling looks forward to becoming active at Tulane and giving back to the Tulane community and the City of New Orleans through leveraging our expertise and sharing our value as a commercial real estate company.

SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA (FEBRUARY 6, 2012) – Stirling Properties presented $20,000 to Providence House, a non-profit organization located on 814 Cotton Street in Shreveport, LA. The donation will help meet the needs of individuals, families and children who are homeless or suffer from abuse.
Providence House has been working in the trenches for more than 20 years, providing a program that teaches families how to live self-sufficient, independent lives. Each family that completes the Providence House program is equipped with everything they need to break the cycle of homelessness. In 2009, Providence House added two new programs–a Domestic Violence Safe House program to provide safe shelter to victims of domestic violence and their children, and a Sexual Assault Hospital Advocacy program to ensure that victims of sexual assault receive the care and information they need in order to make informed decisions as they begin to heal from such a traumatic event. Providence House is the largest transitional and domestic shelter for homeless families and children in Louisiana, and 89% of families who graduate from the program remain successful.
Marty Mayer, President and CEO of Stirling Properties stated, “In a world where there are individuals and families who don’t have a place to call home, it is important to have organizations like Providence House in which to turn. It is their efforts that have helped change the face of homelessness in northwestern Louisiana and we are proud to donate $20,000 to this worthy cause.”
“We are serving 100 families everyday, which is more families than ever before”, said Simone Hennessee, Providence House Executive Director. “Providence House truly is a community project, and we are grateful to Stirling Properties for their support.”
Stirling Properties is committed not only to serving the Shreveport/Bossier area with first class commercial real estate services, but desires to make the community in which we live and work better for the next generation. Each year the Providence House Program transforms 20-25 formerly homeless families into empowered members of the community. It is this success that inspired Stirling Properties to make a donation.
