Jacqueline Turner

Jacqueline Turner began her career as a teacher’s assistant working with deaf, autistic, and handicapped elementary school children. She spent a few years as a flight attendant with Air America servicing government contracts to Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Greece. After relocating to Las Vegas in 1990, she received her real estate license and has worked in commercial leasing and land sales. 

 Ms. Turner has always been involved in community service. In 1992, when the Los Angeles riots had left areas of Las Vegas devastated, Ms. Turner and Magic Johnson, along with the City of Las Vegas and the Urban Economic Redevelopment Agency, worked closely together on Magic’s Westland Plaza. A 22-acre project located in a distressed area of the city, the Plaza became a symbol to the residents of the city’s commitment to rebuilding. Ms. Turner arranged the leasing and procured all tenants- Vons grocery store being the anchor tenant. 

 Other community service includes the American Cancer Society, Big Sisters of Nevada and California, and various community outreach events.
