Why This Recognition Matters
The GlobeSt. Women of Influence designation is one of the most watched annual recognitions in commercial real estate. It tracks influence across the full spectrum of the industry — not just deal volume or portfolio size, but mentorship, leadership, advocacy, and the measurable impact a professional has on the people and places around them.
For Ragan, the Mentor category recognition in 2023 reflected what her peers in the industry already knew — that her platform and her projects have consistently opened doors for other women in commercial real estate. From the Women of the Purse campaign, which highlighted female contractors on the Purse Building rehabilitation, to keynote addresses at universities and industry conferences, Ragan has used her visibility deliberately to create access for the next generation.
“Leadership is about challenging convention, inspiring others, and creating lasting change.”
