New York City Chapter
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the President of the New York City chapter of RELA for the 2023-24 fiscal year. Founded in 1991, the NYC chapter is the longest-standing and largest RELA chapter, consisting of nearly 300 members and growing. RELA’s continued focus on providing high-quality programming, networking and social events has propelled the organization to one of the premier commercial real estate trade groups in the country. We encourage you to sign up for a corporate or individual membership and take advantage of the numerous opportunities RELA provides its members throughout the year including unparalleled access to industry icons and colleagues alike. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or recommendations to improve the RELA member experience.
Thanks for supporting RELA NYC.
