Winners of the Real Estate Board of New York's Most Promising Commercial (Rookie) Salesperson of the Year Award gathered recently to kick off REBNY's prestigious "Circle of Winners" program. In addition to being recognized as a rising star in the industry at a REBNY members luncheon, being featured in media ads and being given a one-year tenure on the exclusive REBNY Board of Governors, each former winner (13 total) will gather for a private dinner four times a program year with an industry leader. Stephen Ross, president of The Related Cos. hosted the most recent dinner. "This award just keeps on giving" said Randy Modell of ABS Partners, the 2006 "rookie" award recipient. Sloane Rhulen, CB Richard Ellis, the 2000 "rookie" winner enthusiastically added "what makes the 'Circle of Winners' special for me is not solely being in the presence of an industry legend but gathering with those who are destined for legend status." The two remaining dinners will be hosted respectively by John Zuccotti - Brookfield Properties and Douglas Durst - Durst Organization. The REBNY Commercial Most Promising Salesperson of the Year Award is presented each year at the March Members' Luncheon.
