Rebekah started the twice-weekly news magazine in 2010, and has since grown the service into a multi-faceted resource for Commercial Real Estate & A/E/C firms to find leads on upcoming projects, industry news, trends, and market insights. In November 2024, BEX entered the Nevada market with NVBEX. In 2015, AZBEX started producing events and now features four annual half-day conferences and six breakfast panels known as the Leading Market Series for the Arizona market.

In 2016, the AZBEX Database or DATABEX was launched. Both the events and database are engineered to bring opportunities to clients – whether it’s the contacts made at a half-day conference or bi-monthly breakfast program or the early stage notice of a project in the database, every service BEX offers is focused on bringing opportunity to clients. Rebekah’s background working for a large General Contractor enabled her to spot the opportunity to start BEX, but it is her grit, determination and eternal curiosity for the industry that has kept it going and growing each year.
