On December 8 approximately 50 ICSC members attended an ICSC PAC reception at the offices of Sills Cummis & Gross at Rockefeller Center in New York City. The special guest of the evening was Congressman Joseph Crowley (D-NY), who spent the evening discussing issues facing the shopping center industry with members. The event was co-chaired by David LaRue (President & CEO of Forest City Enterprises), Adam Ifshin (President & CEO of DLC Management Corp.), and ICSC PAC Co-Chairmen, Gary Rappaport (President/CEO of The Rappaport Companies) and Brad Hutensky (Partner, Hutensky Capital Partners). The Host Committee included Ted Zangari, Co-Chair of the Real Estate Department at Sills Cummis & Gross), who serves as North American Chair of ICSC’s Government Relations Advisory Committee, and fellow Real Estate Department Co-Chair Jeffrey Newman.
The event raised nearly $60,000 for the ICSC PAC. ICSC PAC has been a voice for the retail real estate community for over two decades and is the only federally registered political action committee that represents the interests of the shopping center industry. ICSC PAC helps to elect the most qualified pro-real estate/retail industry, pro-business candidates to federal office.
