New England Chapter to hold scholarship night October 14
The New England SIOR Chapter will hold its annual RW Holmes Scholarship Evening on Thursday, Oct. 14, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The Algonquin Club in Boston's Back Bay. The event is for SIOR members only and their invited guests. David Zimmer, the incoming SIOR national president will be attending from Kansas City for the presentation.
Bob Holmes was a long-time SIOR member and past Chapter president of SIOR and the founder of RW Holmes Realty in Natick His son, Garry Holmes now the president of the firm, is an SIOR and past Chapter president. The scholarship is by application only to an SIOR Candidate who exemplifies the commitment to the SIOR organization and stellar professionalism as an office/industrial broker in the greater Boston market. The applications were submitted for a July 2010 deadline and reviewed by an SIOR panel including Mark Stevens, Bob Cleary, Greg Klemmer and Garry Holmes. Stevens, Holmes, Klemmer and Cleary also interviewed the applicants. The interviews lasted 30 minutes each. This program has been successful over the years. Last year, two Candidates (Evan Gallagher and Mike Zieja) were co-recipients of the scholarships. The scholarship is in the amount of $2,000 and can only be used towards an SIOR designation course prior to the fall SIOR national conference. The students of the course are also invited to attend the conference. This year the fall convention will be held October 20-24 in San Antonio.
The evening will be held in a private room at the distinguished and private Algonquin Club. Complimentary cocktails and heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served.
The Chapter would like to thank Dacon for sponsoring this event.
