Member Testimonial
Hi y|GEN,
My name is Finley Logan and I am a Development Coordinator at ColRich. I oversee a diverse range of responsibilities, from processing plans and permits to notarizing signatures, managing HOA coordination, and supporting legal and compliance efforts. I thrive in the fast-paced, collaborative environment that defines the building industry and enjoy the problem-solving and cross-functional teamwork it requires.
Since joining y|GEN in 2024, I’ve gained valuable insight into the broader development landscape. I was struck by how many members are tackling similar projects or navigating shared challenges. The connections I’ve made have strengthened my understanding of the development process and its many moving parts. Serving on the board has also given me the opportunity to learn from professionals across the industry.
My advice: lean in.
The more you invest in y|GEN, the more you get out of it. This industry is incredibly interconnected—especially in San Diego—and building strong relationships is one of the smartest things you can do for your career.”
