Kathi Renman is Managing Partner of The Renman Group of companies, a Los Angeles based real estate investment consortium. Founded in 1961, The Renman Group has been successfully involved in the acquisition and development of local commercial and industrial properties. Since assuming control in 1999, Kathi has spearheaded the expansion of the family business into the new millennium. Kathi's extensive and diverse knowledge of the real estate industry has been instrumental in the company's profitable investments in ever changing markets.
Kathi was a pioneer in her field as the first woman appraiser for California Federal Savings in 1973. With that she learned the importance of social involvement and extending support to others. Kathi currently sits on the Advisory Board for First Commerce Bank in Los Angeles. Her former professional associations include NAWBO, WPO, NNCREW, and she was a Founder of the Center for Corporate Change.
Kathi's commitment to social responsibility is evident in her longtime support of children's causes. She has remained a long time supporter of Big Sisters since serving on the Board of Directors for Big Sisters of Los Angeles in the early 2000's. Kathi is also involved with the Women's Sports Foundation, Project Light: Rwanda, Ngandu's Angels in Kenya, the Character and Ethics Project in Burbank, and the CSUF Guardian Scholars program. She is dedicated to programs that mentor younger generations and create opportunities for those at a disadvantage.
It is this same dedication that has motivated Kathi to pursue her lifelong passion of skiing since first hitting the slopes as a young child. As a California native, she has traveled to slopes near and far, only to find that Vail won her heart with her first visit in 1974. She now shares her time between her homes in Long Beach and Vail. Kathi looks forward to her growing commitment to the Vail Valley as her long time involvement with the Vail Leadership Institute, the Vail Valley Foundation, the Vail Performing Arts Academy, and The Youth Foundation continues.
