Rowley of CB Richard Ellis/Rochester installed as the 2010 NYSCAR president

According to CB Richard Ellis/Rochester, Joseph Rowley, Jr. has been installed as the president of the New York State Commercial Association of Realtors (NYSCAR) for 2010. Rowley has been a vice president with CBRE/Rochester since 2001, and has practiced in the Rochester and upstate New York commercial real estate markets for over 25 years. Chartered in 1995 as a commercial overlay board, NYSCAR is a specialty local board of Realtors with statewide jurisdiction. NYSCAR was formed by commercial practitioners who had a vision of a board of Realtors dedicated specifically to commercial issues. In succeeding years, NYSCAR has implemented that vision by creating opportunities for members to enhance their professional education, to network with colleagues across the state, and to market commercial property in statewide forums. There are six active NYSCAR chapters throughout the state, including: Greater Capital, Hudson Valley, Metro Long Island, Rochester Area, Western New York and Southern Tier. One of the most visible and most successful of NYSCAR's endeavors has been the development of the annual commercial real estate conference at the Turning Stone Resort held each June, jointly sponsored by NYSCAR, the Northern N.J./NYS Chapter of CCIM and the Upstate and Downstate Chapters of SIOR and the Society of Exchange Counselors. This premier event has grown to three days packed with six challenging and topical continuing education courses, one and a half days of marketing sessions facilitated by the SEC, and networking events ranging from a golf tournament to a luncheon featuring nationally recognized keynote speakers.
