February 28, 2022 - It's Black History Month, and representation is powerful. This month and every month, we celebrate significant contributions of Black Real Estate Professionals in New York now and throughout history. The CoreNet New York Chapter and the NYC Diversity and Inclusion Committee have invited a panel of diverse Black Leaders in the Corporate Real Estate Industry. The discussion will highlight their experience, the African American legacy in real estate development, and how to get more young black individuals involved and advance in Corporate Real Estate. Seeing an industry counterpart in a position of power or influence can differentiate wishful thinking and make it an achievable goal. These speakers are breaking barriers and making them attainable for the next generation.

Moderator: Vijay Ramcharitar, Director of Real Estate at ViacomCBS Inc.

Discussion Panel:

Nekesha Sawh, Senior Portfolio Programs Manager at Hines

Kelly Powell, Executive Director, Portfolio Planning + Management at NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services

Steven McKessey, Vice President at Lehrer Cumming
