Hendricks received special recognition in the humanitarian aid category for her work helping the community both within and beyond MLG Capital
BROOKFIELD, WI / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2022 / MLG Capital, a national leader in private equity investment in commercial real estate, today announced that Jade Hendricks, Assistant Vice President of Investor Operations, has been named one of the 2022 Women of Influence from the GlobeSt Real Estate Forum. The prestigious annual award honors a small number of the most influential women in the country’s commercial real estate industry. Hendricks received special recognition in the Humanitarian category of the award for her work spearheading charitable initiatives both within and outside MLG Capital.
“Jade deserves this honor — her passion, creativity, integrity and dedication are matched only by her humility,” said David Binder, Vice President at MLG. “She is a natural leader who goes above and beyond in every aspect of her role and in every aspect of her community involvement. We are so proud to have her on our team.”
Hendricks joined MLG Capital in 2020 after graduating from Fisk University in Nashville with degrees in business administration and Spanish, sinking her teeth into a traditionally male-dominated field as part of the Morgan Stanley Wealth Management team in Chicago . As her MLG hiring manager tells it, Hendricks’ job was designed just for her — defined on the back of a napkin at a luncheon meeting — to bring her unique skills, entrepreneurial mindset and passion for making a difference to the MLG community.
Hendricks’ achievements since joining the MLG team have been numerous. She manages activities for the company’s investor relations efforts, helped launch the company’s new investor portal, established a new business line, and serves as part of the marketing and communications team, which leads to media relations, content development, event planning, and other endeavors. Of particular note over the past year has been her involvement in the relaunch of MLG’s Making a Difference (MAD) Initiative.
The goal of the MAD initiative is to combine sustainable investor returns with charitable initiatives, enabling significant philanthropic efforts in the local community and abroad. A portion of MLG’s private funds are earmarked for the MAD initiative to benefit six charitable organizations focused on youth education and financial literacy. Through MAD, investors agreed to donate all profits in excess of 6 percent to MAD’s charities and MLG Capital commits to give 100 percent of its profits from MAD allocations to the beneficiaries. Since its launch last year, investors have already pledged more than $6 million.
“Jade was instrumental in getting the MAD initiative off the ground, and its early success is due in large part to her hard work and dedication,” said Binder. “Thanks to Jade’s leadership and continued commitment to this initiative, MLG and its investors have the potential to return millions of dollars to designated charities over the coming years.”
Hendricks’ community involvement does not end with her role at MLG. Her foundational childhood experiences and her lessons at Morgan Stanley propelled Hendricks into a deeper calling – to transfer her wealth management and financial literacy skills to educate and empower underserved communities. She is actively involved in teaching financial literacy and providing 1:1 mentoring, college and scholarship coaching to dozens of high school students through her roles with nonprofit organizations SecureFutures and ArtWorks for Milwaukee. She also recently launched her “Building the Dream Foundation,” a private scholarship fund to provide scholarships to two high school students each year, and she shares tips through her “Personal Finance Fridays” newsletter and as a host of the Business Creative Podcast.
