Experience Drives the 2026 CRE Summit’s Hall of Fame Inductees

This year's four inductees into the Commercial Real Estate Seminar's Hall of Fame have nearly 150 years of experience in the industry.

Deb Graeve-Morrison, Doug Nodgaard, Ember Grummons and Michael Moylan will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during the CRE Summit at CHI Health Center Omaha on Aug. 21, 2026.

"These four individuals are outstanding in their respective fields, and are very deserving of their induction into the CRE Summit Hall of Fame," said Jerry Slusky, CRE Summit founder and co-chair.

The Summit's planning committee considers several nominations each year from both the Omaha and Lincoln commercial real estate communities, he said.

Deb Graeve-Morrison

Graeve-Morrison is the former president of NAI NP Dodge and a commercial real estate leader in Omaha, whose experience dates back to 1991.

Prior to joining NAI NP Dodge in 2010, she worked at Seldin Company as executive vice president of the commercial division.

In her current role, Graeve-Morrison oversees complex lease negotiations and represents landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers in both office and retail markets.

Her clients include the General Services Administration, United Way, U.S. Postal Service, Children’s Hospital and First National Bank of Omaha.

"Deb has been instrumental in her career at assisting Omaha companies with their real estate needs," Slusky said. "(She) has also been a pioneer in advocating for women entering the commercial real estate world."

Doug Nodgaard

Nodgaard is a longtime community banker and civic leader, whose 42-year career has allowed him to support several of the projects that have helped shape Omaha's growth.

Among the projects he helped finance during his career with Equitable Bank, Nodgaard's most notable was Omaha's first major downtown condominium development, a landmark project that helped reintroduce residential living to the city's urban core.

Through a relationship-focused approach to commercial lending, as community bank president, he has helped provide capital for development and contributed to the area's continued expansion and vitality.

"Under his leadership, Equitable Bank's Omaha market has experienced substantial growth, strengthening its position as a trusted financial partner for businesses, developers and families throughout the area," Slusky said.

Ember Grummons

Grummons has been active in commercial real estate since 1993, specializing in the sale of investment property.

Grummons has represented private equity groups, REITS and tenant-in-common sponsors, as well as individual investors, in the sale or acquisition of office buildings, shopping centers, multi-tenant industrial properties and apartments throughout the Midwest.

"He has closed hundreds of millions of investment property in the Midwest and has been the lead broker involved with some of the largest investment transactions in the Omaha area," Slusky said.

Michael Moylan

Moylan is the founder and chief executive officer of Shamrock Development, Inc., which has partnered with others to develop or acquire more than 1.7 million square feet of mixed-use, retail, office and industrial properties in the Omaha market, with a primary focus on the downtown core.

Notable projects that Shamrock has been involved with include the 1000 Dodge and 1009 Capitol buildings, The Paxton Condominiums, The Barker Building, 1501 Jackson Apartments, Keeline Building, the Papillion Professional Park, Hartman Avenue and Abbott Drive Industrial, as well as the recently-acquired Old Mill Centre.

Shamrock was the lead developer of The Capitol District, a $205 million mixed-use development, located at 10th and Capitol, which includes the Marriott Hotel.

"Shamrock Development...has helped shape the urban fabric and community of Downtown Omaha," Slusky said.

Moylan is a Certified Commercial Investment member and a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers. He has participated in the Strategic Coach Entrepreneurial training program for 25 years.

Moylan has served on numerous civic boards and committees, supporting urban development, Catholic urban education and urban community growth in Omaha.

Along with the Hall of Fame inductions, nationally-known speaker Spencer Levy will share his vision and insight regarding commercial real estate as the Summit's keynote speaker.

Levy, global client strategist and senior economic advisor for CBRE, has appeared on numerous television networks, including CNBC, CNN, Fox Business and PBS. He also hosts CBRE’s award-winning podcast, “The Weekly Take,” now in its fifth year.

“We are ecstatic to have someone with Spencer’s credentials, experience and global impact in commercial real estate as this year’s keynote speaker,” Slusky said. “At a time when the CRE industry is navigating changing interest rates, office-market disruption, housing demand, construction costs, lender caution and evolving tenant expectations, there really is no one better to speak on these and other topics at the CRE Summit than Spencer Levy.”

Levy, with more than 30 years of experience as a lawyer, investment banker and leader in research and capital markets, has been with CBRE for 18 years. He is also the chairman of the Real Estate Roundtable’s research committee, a position that involves meeting with elected officials regarding commercial real estate development issues.
