LICN president Alan Hendrickson was pleased to see so many of our members, sponsors and affiliates. Hendrickson said, "The goal of LICN is to help educate our members in the continuing challenging industry of commercial real estate. This event helps bring commercial realtors together." This year some of the members played golf prior to the start of the event. This may be a way of extending the party and build the relationships that LICN promotes.
