Jury of Wilk Auslander: A new member of Win Partners

Name: Hillary Jury Title: Partner Company Name: Wilk Auslander LLP Years in Commercial Real Estate: 15 In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why? This summer, I became a member of Win Partners, a group of professionals committed to furthering Win's mission through fundraising and advocating for the organization with friends and colleagues. Win is a vibrant, dynamic and growing organization that serves 9,000 homeless women and their children in NYC each year. Win's vision is to break the cycle of homelessness and transform the lives of NYC homeless women and their children by providing the housing, programs and services they need to succeed on their own. What was your first job and what did you learn from it? My first real job was working in the real estate development department of a non-profit corporation in Newark, New Jersey. I learned that in a lot of jobs, if you take initiative and pay attention, people will let you take on whatever you are interested in and learn on the job. I had the opportunity to oversee the financing and construction of a 99 unit senior housing building in Orange, New Jersey - and then interview tenants and rent it up. What is your favorite quote? "I'm going back to New York City. I do believe I've had enough." - Bob Dylan What are you doing differently in 2014 that has had positive impact on your career? Trying to stand up and leave my desk at least once a week to network, reconnect with old friends and colleagues, meet new people or participate in something that makes the world a better place.
