AREW/MBA'S FALL FÊTE

And AREW and the Mortgage Bankers Association made our calendar a bit more simple by hosting a joint fall gathering on Steelcase's roof deck at 4 Columbus Circle. There, we snapped Herman Miller's Jennifer Abbattista, Tobron's Amy Bearss, Herman Miller's Victoria Protheroe, Fireball Network's Deena Baikowitz,ClickPay's Steven Kamhi, and NYCB's Robert Van Gelder and Aldo Matulich.

Upcoming MBA events include seminars with networking (one co-hosted by another industry association), a behind-the-scenes tour, luncheon or breakfast, charitable activities, and its popular holiday celebration.
