wpg is proud to invest in our colleagues through Growth Gateway, a new company-wide program that allows each person the opportunity to design and complete a highly individualized development plan based on their own unique professional growth goals. Colleagues will spend the next month deciding what to include in their plans. We're excited to see all we accomplish together through this program!

Team wpg is getting excited for Pelotonia ride weekend, which is just a few days away. Kimberly Flaherty is riding for her dad, who passed in January 2011, just three short months after a stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and for her sister-in-law, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of this year. Kimberly said, "Cancer knows no limits – so riding in Pelotonia is one small way I can fight back." To support Kimberly's ride and Team wpg, click here: https://lnkd.in/gSTVYg2C

Happy National Intern Day! We're thankful for the six interns who joined us at wpg this summer. This week they visited The Mall at Fairfield Commons and toured the site of the future Dick's House of Sport. We wish all of our interns the best of luck in their future careers. A special "thank you" to Matt Giffin, our intern coordinator, for putting together such a rewarding experience for these students and the colleagues who are working with them.

A big "thank you" to our team for all of the work that went into signing 140 new deals in the second quarter of 2024. Our team takes care to ensure we pair the right retailers with the right properties, then continues to work closely with them as they customize their space and establish their business.

Pelotonia is all about Ending Cancer, so future generations don't have to feel the pain of losing a loved one to the disease. Team wpg is made up of volunteers, Challengers, and riders who are united in that goal. One of those riders is John Werkman, who is riding 20 miles this August in memory of his mother, Susan Werkman, who passed away from a rare form of stomach cancer in 2018. You can support John's ride and Team wpg here: https://lnkd.in/gTqtW7ZK
