Woodbury, NY The Commercial Industrial Brokers Society (CIBS) of Long Island, the region’s leading organization for commercial real estate brokers and industry professionals, honored Eric Rubenstein, partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C., with its annual Associate of the Year Award.

The award, presented Oct. 26, at the CIBS Annual Meeting at the Fox Hollow Inn, recognizes and encourages the support and involvement of CIBS members and associate members in the activities of the real estate brokers professional group.

Rubenstein, co-chair of the Uniondale-based law firm’s real estate department and a member of its environmental practice group, was recognized for his contributions to CIBS, including his work as a moderator of a CIBS’ panel discussion and his hosting of a CIBS Lunch and Learn program. His firm also is a CIBS sponsor.

A resident of Port Washington, Rubenstein manages a diverse real estate transactional practice at Ruskin with specific emphasis on sophisticated mortgage financing, commercial leasing, acquisitions and sales. 

“Eric has been a staunch supporter of CIBS and this award recognizes his growing involvement with our group,” said CIBS president David Chinitz.

CIBS was formed in 1992 out of the shared belief among the region’s leading brokers that the region needed a unified voice to advocate on behalf of professionalism, ethics and industry cohesion. Today, CIBS is a leading voice and advocate for commercial development in the Long Island market. Since its formation, CIBS has helped upgrade the industry by offering hundreds of educational programs, seminars and presentations; advocated professional standards and offered grievance resolution; provided informal mentoring relationships; raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities; and created social settings in which colleagues have become friends, and competitors respected peers.
