More than 500 members of New York City’s residential management community attended REBNY’s 18th Annual Residential Management Leadership Breakfast on February 24 at the Grand Ballroom of The Roosevelt Hotel, to honor Sladkus and co-honoree Bill Brake, of Related Management Company, who was presented with the Residential Management Executive of the Year Award. “It was a great honor to celebrate the accomplishments of Bill Brake and Steven Sladkus, who we thank for their dedication to their professional duties, contributions to our industry, and service to the greater community,” said John Banks, III, REBNY president.

Steven was commended for his service to and fundraising efforts for the organization, which grants wishes for children enduring life-threatening medical conditions.” In his acceptance remarks, Sladkus said, “When children are sick they are at the most vulnerable times of their lives. And when they wish for something and have that actually come true, it gives them a sense of power... that they have control over their lives when they haven’t had it for so long because of their sickness. And, through getting those wishes, it drives them to seek treatment and get better.” The REBNY Residential Management Breakfast Planning Committee is composed of: Leslie Bogen Winkler, Penmark Realty Corp., Chair of REBNY’s Residential Management Breakfast Planning Committee; Michael Wolfe, Midboro Management, Inc., Co-Chair of REBNY’s Residential Management Council; Ellen Gribben Bornet, Rose Associates, Inc.; Anne Cooleen, Clinton Management LLC; Dawn Dickstein, MD2 Property Management Group, LLC; Russel Heigel, Rose Associates, Inc.; and Albert E.
