Mark your calendar for October 23rd - Robert W. Holmes Scholarship Night
The New England SIOR Chapter will be holding its second annual Scholarship Award Night on Thursday, October 23rd at the BC Club, 100 Federal St. The Scholarship Award is given by the Chapter to an "up and coming" Boston area commercial broker with less than three years experience. The scholarship allows the broker to attend an SIOR course at an SIOR National Convention. The winner will be announced that evening followed by a reception.
Last year's winner was Jeremy Fried of Boston Realty Advisors. Diana Lee, SIOR, vice president of Chapter Relations; Randall Walker, SIOR, national president; and Karen Lewis, northeast regional vice president, are expected to attend the awards evening.
Hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and a full open bar will be served.
The Chapter will also be announcing the new incoming 2009 slate of officers for the New England Chapter.
The Scholarship Award is named after Bob Holmes who served as New England Chapter president in the 1970s and was a long-time SIOR active member.
Please RSVP Jim Boudrot at 617-457-3328 by October 15th and if your spouse or guest will be attending with you.
