The Investment Real Estate Group of Companies (IREGC), which specializes in self-storage construction/management and operates the Moove In Self Storage brand, has announced that its own Mary Beth Ching has been named a “2024 Woman of Influence” by the Central Penn Business Journal. The award is given annually to women based on their professional experience, community involvement, and commitment to mentoring.
Ching has been with IREGC since 2021. As Chief of Staff, Ching partners with leadership to maintain the company’s culture and core values. She also works with investors, vendors, financial institutions, partners, state boards and member associations in the local community and nationwide. She is a board member of the Appell Center for the Performing Arts of York, Pennsylvania, the city she calls home with her daughters and also where she earned her bachelor's degree (York College).
Ching has been a longtime advocate in LGBTQ+ affairs and helped create “Pride Night for the York Revolution" and served on the board of “The Black and White Party” from 2007 to 2013, raising funds and support for HIV/AIDS-related organizations.
“As a true professional in the workplace and a person who gives so much to help others, we couldn’t think of a more worthy honoree,” said IREGC CEO John Gilliland, who himself received a Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this year from the Vistage organization. “Mary Beth approaches every aspect of her life with a tremendous positive outlook. We’re incredibly lucky to have her as part of our IREGC team.”
