TEANECK, NJ-The Industrial and Office Real Estate Brokers Association of the New York Metropolitan Area's 19th annual Office Developers’ & Investors’ Night, held yesterday evening in Teaneck, NJ, was not just about dinner and drinks. Tracye McDaniel, the newly appointed president and CEO of Choose New Jersey, a private nonprofit organization with the mission of fostering economic growth in the state, headlined the event.

Formerly EVP of the Greater Houston Partnership in Texas, McDaniel discussed New Jersey’s ongoing plans to attract and retain businesses in the state. The event was also a key opportunity for IOREBA members to re-connect and to meet the new investors that have emerged during these times.
