Legacy of dedication: honoring Leanne Menashe's 34 years at NAI Elliott

At the beginning of this month, we gathered to honor Leanne Menashe, VP, Director of Real Estate Management, Senior Asset Manager, and Principal Broker at NAI Elliott, commemorating her remarkable 34 years of dedication. Leanne's well-deserved transition into retirement was celebrated at the Multnomah Athletics Club where we all had the privilege of reflecting on the entirety of Leanne’s professional journey, with a particular focus on the challenges and obstacles she navigated and the unwavering support she provided our office during trying times. Equally inspiring was hearing about the profound influence Leanne had on her coworkers and their pursuits in commercial real estate. And of course, we played bingo, sang karaoke and Leanne showcased her legendary tambourine skills—some of her favorite pastimes shared with colleagues over the years.

In reflecting on the remarkable commitment of Leanne Menashe over the past three decades, President Jordan Elliott shares, “While it's a daunting task to encapsulate Leanne Menashe's 34-year tenure at NAI Elliott, her embodiment of our core values stands out prominently. Leanne epitomized a client-centric approach, always assessing decisions based on their impact and advantage to property owners, tenants and vendors. Our company ethos, "Large or small, it matters," was exemplified by Leanne's adept navigation of both high-level strategic issues and day-to-day operations. Throughout her tenure, she fostered genuine connections with colleagues within the company and across the broader community, enriching both personal and professional spheres. Her departure leaves a void that will undoubtedly be felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside her.”

As we bid farewell to Leanne Menashe, her legacy of dedication and unwavering commitment resonates deeply within our hearts and throughout NAI Elliott. Her influence extends far beyond her official roles, leaving an indelible mark on the culture and spirit of our organization. Leanne's leadership, integrity and compassion have set a standard of excellence that will continue to guide us in the years to come.

As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, we offer our sincerest gratitude for her immeasurable contributions and wish her nothing but the very best in all her future endeavors. TTFN!
