NYSCAR …Bringing commercial real estate practitioners together
President’s Column January, 2010
Joseph F. Rowley, Jr., President
On March 16, NYSCAR, in cooperation with the Metro Long Island Chapter of NYSCAR will sponsor a Business Valuation course, instructed by Bob Giniecki, CCIM, SEC. On April 21, NYSCAR, in cooperation with the Hudson Valley Chapter of NYSCAR will sponsor Chuck Sutherland’s 6-hour creative formulas course. These are great opportunities to earn continuing education, so we hope you take advantage of these offerings.
Please be sure to mark your calendar for the 9th Annual NYS Commercial Real Estate Conference which will be held June 14-16, 2010 at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York. The event will be sponsored by the New York State Commercial Association of REALTORS®, the New York State Chapters of CCIM and SIOR and the Society of Exchange Counselors. Over the years, the event has grown and attracted commercial practitioners from across the country. It is an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues at the commercial marketing session, earn continuing education and golf on a top rated course. The conference is an outstanding value and second to none! Lunch and breakfast is included in the registration fee. Last year NYSCAR sponsored a dinner with a panel of industry experts to discuss timely topics. This was a great addition to the conference and will be continued this year. The planning committee, chaired by John Lavelle (Pine Bush, 2nd VP of NYSCAR), has been meeting to plan details for the conference. Keeping the challenging economy in mind, the committee is careful to keep the conference extremely affordable. Please watch for future articles outlining the program. If you or your company would like to exhibit at the conference, please email Ali Mann ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) for information.
