Full Circle: Wrapping Up a Season of Mentorship

On November 6, the 2025 REC of GFW Mentoring Series came full circle with a celebratory Closing Lunch at Mezza South. It was a fitting finale to a season built on connection, collaboration and career growth.

The afternoon brought together mentees and mentors to reflect on the lessons learned and the relationships formed over the past few months. Conversations around the tables were full of shared wins, fresh insights and gratitude for the community this program continues to build.

The event featured a closing panel with Travis Clegg, John McQueeney and David Cook, who led a thoughtful discussion on Real Estate and the Past and Upcoming Legislative Sessions. Their perspectives offered valuable context for how policy shapes our industry and what professionals at every level can do to stay engaged and informed.

This year’s series once again demonstrated the power of mentorship to bridge experience and ambition. The connections made will continue to shape Fort Worth’s commercial real estate community for years to come.
