Remember Awais Mughal - Friend, Mentor, and Leader


Filed under: Chapter

It is with a heavy heart that we share that Awais Mughal recently passed away after a short illness. Awais was a steadfast supporter of NAIOP and had a lasting impact on our association in many ways. He joined the NAIOP San Francisco Chapter in 2009, and served as President in 2011. He was integral in bringing the Young Professionals Group (YPG) to the Bay Area and is one of the founders of the NAIOP Executive Development (NED) Program. Awais served many years on our local NAIOP Advisory Council, as well as local and national Board of Directors and various committees, sharing countless hours of wisdom, mentorship, laughter and memories with our community. His loss will be deeply felt.

In lieu of flowers, Awais' family has requested that those dollars be directed to the Contra Consta Food Bank, as Awais was a huge supporter. Click here to donate in Awais' honor.
