Philadelphia Chapter
I am honored to serve as the RELA Philadelphia Chapter President and serve alongside the talented and dedicated board of directors who have guided this Chapter from its formation.
RELA Philadelphia is committed to provide a forum for real estate lenders to enhance, encourage and support the professional growth of our members. The Board has planned a full schedule of events for the 2024-2025 year, including expert panelist lunch and learn events, site tours, and of course networking events and cocktail hours.
Your attendance and participation are the keys to the growth and success of our chapter. This year we plan to kick off the Young Members Committee in Philadelphia and look forward to their development and success. I look forward to connecting with existing RELA members at our events and welcome the opportunity to speak with those interested in learning more about joining our chapter.
I would like to thank all our past speakers, panelists and sponsors whose support has been instrumental to RELA Philadelphia’s success over the years. We are especially grateful to the law firm Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young for their continued support of our Philadelphia Chapter.
