As real estate professionals, it's crucial to create a safe and inclusive environment for all of your clients. When it comes to dealing with people from different cultural backgrounds, a little sensitivity can go a long way. With that in mind, NCJAR participated in the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Summit on June 5th and 6th, which emphasized the importance of creating equitable and inclusive workplaces.
The summit took place at the Sleepy Hollow Hotel in Tarrytown, New York, and included keynote speakers Deanna Singh, Kelly McDonald, and M. Ryan Gorman. These experts had a lot to share about creating inclusive workspaces that are representative of the diversity of our population. They discussed the key challenges that marginalized people face every day in and out of the workplace and the steps that can be taken by the industry to foster a safer space for all.

Volunteering is a great way to get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and make a positive impact in our local Morris County area.
As the world celebrates Pride Month, NCJAR took the opportunity to recognize and support the LGBTQ+ community by hosting a special networking celebration at the Alto Rooftop above the AC Hotel in Montclair, New Jersey. This event aimed to provide a platform for all to come together and connect, build relationships, and exchange ideas. The evening was marked with a highlight, as the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance President Erin Morrison shared valuable insights about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the real estate world. Classic Mortgage was generous enough to sponsor cocktails for the evening, and we would like to give a special thanks to Tony Costanzo and Angelo Straface for their support.
