Kathy O'Malley of JRS Architects discusses her contributions
How do you contribute to the community or industry?
I believe it's extremely important to give back to your community and that doesn't necessarily mean monetary contributions. I am a member of various real estate organizations, but most proud of being on the Board of Directors of CoreNet Global which is a corporate real estate organization committed to the education of corporate real estate executives. This year, I was appointed executive vice president of the Long Island Chapter. By being so involved with the chapter, I have had the privilege of serving on the committee and co-chairing CoreNet's Annual Charitable Golf & Tennis Outing for the past nine years. With the help and support of my fellow business professionals, this event has raised over $600,000 for local children's charities which is an outstanding accomplishment.
Kathy O'Malley is the director of business development and marketing at JRS Architects, P.C., Mineola, N.Y.
