Another great NextGen session is in the books!
This month, participants had the opportunity to learn from an outstanding panel of finance professionals who shared their perspectives on banking, lending, commercial real estate finance, and career development. The discussion provided valuable insight into how lenders evaluate opportunities, structure transactions, and partner with commercial real estate professionals to help bring projects to life.
NextGenners heard from:
- Adam Newman (Landmark Credit Union)

- Dan Franecki (Tri City National Bank)
- Vedran Rimarcuk, CCIM (Old National)
- Mike Eberle (Crux Commercial)
- Joe Schmidt (Coveted Financial Services)
In addition to discussing the fundamentals of commercial real estate finance, panelists shared their career journeys, lessons learned, and advice for emerging professionals looking to build meaningful careers in the industry. We extend our sincere thanks to our panelists and sponsors—Tri City National Bank, Gardner Builders, and Colliers—for their continued support of the NextGen program and their commitment to investing in the future of Wisconsin’s commercial real estate industry.
