LICN hosts complimentary networking evening September 14

The Long Island Commercial Network (LICN) has found great success in hosting gatherings over the last year. Members and attendees anxiously ask for the next event. On Sept 14, at Valentino's on the Bay in Oceanside, LICN hosted a complimentary networking evening on what turned out to be a beautiful summer evening. It was swarming with Realtors. It was an ideal time and venue for those involved in real estate and related industries to network, introduce themselves to one another and often to make introductions between business acquaintances. Many residential Realtors attended hoping to connect with those more familiar with commercial so they can improve their skills or find someone to partner with. It was one of the last such events outgoing LICN president Alan Hendrickson will host. Shown (from left) are: Michele Michael of MGM Islandwide Realty and Bob Stark of Prudential Douglas.
