NEW YORK CITY—Although budget negotiations kept US Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer in Washington DC the night of the Real Estate Board of New York's 122nd annual banquet and awards presentation, the New York senator was honored with the John E. Zuccotti Public Service Award. REBNY's new chair, William C. Rudin, said the senator's tireless commitment to New York captured the spirit of the award.
Sen. Schumer responded: “Receiving the John E. Zuccotti Public Service Award, named after a consummate New Yorker who was such a strong and grateful advocate for our city, is an honor. Fighting for New York is in my bones and I will always work to keep the cranes rising, hardhats working and economy humming; that is the foundation of our great city.”
As reported in GlobeSt.com, approximately 2,000 guests attended the event on Jan. 18. As part of its brief ceremony, REBNY honored its outgoing chairman, Rob Speyer, president and CEO of Tishman Speyer, who received the Harry B. Helmsley Distinguished New Yorker Award.
