Partnership aiming to keep focus on global stage
Real Estate Weekly, July 21, 2004
The New York Council of FIABCI-USA (the American chapter of FIABCI, the International Real Estate Federation), and the Fordham Real Estate Society of the Fordham University School of Business announced that the two organisations have formed an alliance to promote New York as a major center for international real estate.
Under the alliance, the Real Estate Society and the Real Estate Research Center at Fordham University will utilize their Lincoln Center venue to welcome seminars on international real estate issues that are organised by the FIABCI-USA New York Council on a regular basis.
Recent seminars in FIABCI's programme have focused on topics including foreign investment in New York real estate, the evolution of international real estate brokerage, and a property visit to the new world class Time Warner Center.
The alliance further strengthens the Fordham Research Center's continuing international research and education agenda.
Professor Leon Shilton, professor of finance and real estate of Fordham University's School of Business campus explained, "We are delighted with the opportunities that this new partnership with FIABCI will bring to our university.
"Our principal objective through this alliance is to promote and sustain from a global perspective the discussions of real estate in an intensive, incisive and challenging way. This is in synergy with one of the primary focuses of Fordham University, New York's Jesuit University, namely the caring of the individual with emphasis on developing the mind."
FIABCI-USA New York Council member Robyn Frank-Pedersen, who obtained her MBA in finance at Fordham University, spearheaded this alliance which takes effect immediately.
The inaugural event will be held on July 29th and will examine the role of New York in the global economy.
