Fellow Members and Friends:
Thank you for entrusting me and our outstanding Board of Directors with the stewardship of our chapter. I can only hope to continue and expand on the success of our immediate and recent past Presidents. Along those lines, we have planned many interesting and educational programs to be held throughout the coming year.
Our next meeting on Tuesday, October 8th, will be an update on the State of the Real Estate Market: The Pain and the Gain featuring a discussion by Ray Ruiz, Managing Director of JLL, John Finn, Director of Leasing & Acquisitions of Damianos Realty, and Thomas DeLuca, Managing Director Cushman & Wakefield. This lively discussion will be hosted by David Pennetta, Executive Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield and Board Member of the IMA Long Island Chapter. This is an in-person dinner event from 6pm - 8:30pm. Be sure to attend, arriving early to benefit from outstanding networking opportunities.
Pursuant to our global mission, we continue the work of our chapter in improving the development of our business practices in our community. I encourage all our members to avail themselves of the great educational, networking and sponsorship opportunities available. Our sponsors enable the Long Island chapter to provide excellent programming, as well as outreach to local colleges and universities in order to foster connections with the future leaders of the profession.
I look forward to seeing you at our events.
Best Regards,
Gerard R. Luckman
President Long Island Chapter IMA
