On the eve of the 2026 IIUSA EB-5 Industry Forum, Civitas Capital Group was honored to be part of the Aurora EB-5 Dinner: Women Illuminating the Path Forward, hosted by JTC at District Winery in Washington, D.C.
Civitas Managing Director, Legal & Head of Investor Experience Mine Ekim joined fellow women leaders from across the EB-5 industry for an evening dedicated to recognizing the contributions of women shaping the program – sharing success stories from prominent EB-5 projects, exchanging perspective on the issues that will define EB-5’s next chapter, and building the kind of relationships that move the industry forward.
The Aurora EB-5 Dinner, hosted by JTC’s Jill Jones and Coleen Danaher, has quickly become a meaningful gathering point for senior women in EB-5 – bringing together regional center principals, legal counsel, and other industry professionals for candid conversation in a setting designed for connection rather than presentation.
Threaded through the conversation was a recurring theme – the growing presence and influence of women across every part of the EB-5 ecosystem, from legal and compliance to capital markets, regional center leadership, and other professional services.
Thank you to JTC, Jill Jones, Coleen Danaher, and every leader who shared the table for an evening that captured both the substance and the spirit of where EB-5 is heading. Civitas is proud to support and be part of this growing community.
Stay tuned for more updates from the Civitas team in the weeks ahead.
