Metro L.I. chapter of NYSCAR promotes comm'l. R.E. business

The Metro Long Island Chapter of NYSCAR was formed three years ago, after separating from the Long Island Commercial Network. Past presidents include Edward Smith and Sharon Langdon. The organization's purpose is to promote commercial real estate business through networking and by strengthening relationships within the industry. Last year, we held a number of successful events including: State of the Island "Groundhog Day Event" (February), a joint real estate event with SIOR and CCIM at the Marriott (April), Turning Stone Marketing and Education (June), Real Estate Jeopardy (August), Yankee Stadium Send-Off (September) and the annual breakfast (October). For 2008, the forum of events will be duplicated, with the possibility of one or two other major gatherings. In addition to our larger gala events, NYSCAR provides updates on legislative affairs to sister real estate groups on Long Island. Members have the benefit of proprietary and well structured legal documents and access to members statewide. The executive board of the Metro Long Island chapter includes Jack Britvan, vice president, Harvey Kolin, treasurer, and Leonard Primack, secretary.
