SIOR Global members,
As I enter my last few months as Global President, I’ve been reflecting on what an extraordinary journey this past year has been—and how grateful I am to have shared it with all of you.
From the very beginning, I’ve been energized by the chance to connect with our members across the globe. Whether at chapter meetings or regional gatherings, I’ve seen firsthand the drive, collaboration, and vision that define SIOR. Every conversation, every handshake, and every new connection has reaffirmed why this organization is so special.
One standout moment: our record-breaking Spring 2025 Event in Las Vegas. With more than 1,000 attendees, the energy was unmatched—dynamic sessions, powerful networking, and ideas that pushed boundaries. It was truly a landmark moment for SIOR, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for our upcoming Fall 2025 Event in Louisville, Ky.
This fall, we’ll enter the winning circle—bringing together top-producing brokers who understand that lasting success takes more than talent. It requires strategy, discipline and the kind of connections that only SIOR Global can offer.
As we prepare for Louisville, it’s clear that staying ahead means keeping a pulse on the shifts in the marketplace shaping our industry. That’s exactly what this issue of the SIOR Report delivers. From the future of GSA offices and global capital movement to AI integration, insurance risks, solar adoption in logistics, and necessity-driven assets, these insights are vital for what’s next.
Looking ahead, I’m proud to welcome Saadia Sheikh, SIOR, as the next Global President. Her leadership and insight for the future are exactly what SIOR needs to keep moving forward.
At the heart of it all is our community—driven by shared expertise, strong relationships and a commitment to excellence. Being part of this platform has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
Thank you to the Board of Directors, our volunteer leaders, the HQ Team who work every day to make our SIOR Global strong, and every member who makes this organization so exceptional. I’m deeply thankful for the opportunity to serve and confident the best is still ahead.
Leading Forward,
Mike Ohmes, SIOR
SIOR Global President
