WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 12, 2023) — The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors® (SIOR) recently elected Michael Connor, vice president of Hanna Langholz Wilson Ellis (Hanna LWE) in Pittsburgh, Pa., to serve a two-year term as the SIOR regional director in the Mid-Atlantic Region. He will assume the position at SIOR’s 2023 conference in Chicago this October. Connor will serve as the liaison between the SIOR Board of Directors and SIOR Chapters in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Delaware and Northern Virginia.
Connor’s involvement with SIOR marks a continuation of his family’s ties to the organization which now extends more than four generations. Connor’s great-grandfather, Charles R. Wilson, became a member of SIOR in 1962 and was the Western Pennsylvania chapter vice president in 1971. His family’s involvement in SIOR was championed further by Connor’s uncle, Gary Wilson, who became a member of the organization in 1993, was president of the Western Pennsylvania chapter in 1996 and 2004 and has had a decorated career as a broker and developer.
Believed to be one of the youngest in the organization’s history to hold the regional director position, Connor, age 30, views the election as an honor and an enhancement to his family’s legacy.
“The SIOR designation represents the epitome of excellence in the world of office and industrial real estate and securing it has been a goal of mine since I began working in brokerage in 2015,” said Connor.
Connor is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Clarion University of Pennsylvania with degrees in marketing and finance. He has spent his entire career with Hanna LWE, serving as a commercial agent and currently as vice president.
