Membership on this committee is determined through a peer-driven nomination process, making this a meaningful recognition of Jade’s expertise, leadership, and involvement within the ICSC community.

Jade has been an active contributor to CenterBuild for several years, including being named a CenterBuild Leaders Under 40 award recipient and moderating panels with industry peers. Jade has also facilitated Ideation Labs, which are collaborative sessions to play, debate, and interpret ideas that are relevant to the future of the retail industry. Over multiple years of active participation, she has consistently contributed insights that balance strategic vision with real-world execution. These efforts have showcased the value she brings to conversations around planning, design, and construction in an increasingly complex national retail landscape.

ICSC CenterBuild is an annual premier conference for retail and real estate professionals, with a focus on the planning, development, design, and construction of shopping centers and retail-oriented projects. The event is widely recognized as a hub for collaboration, innovation, and relationship-building, helping industry leaders navigate the evolving demands of physical retail while strengthening professional networks.

Held in Arizona for more than a decade, CenterBuild has become a long-standing, influential gathering. Jade is local to Arizona, allowing her to remain closely engaged throughout the planning process and share a deep understanding of both local and national market dynamics as the committee shapes the conference program.
