The Rooftops Conference NYC 2013, to be held on Friday, April 19, is our third annual symposium focused on the not-for-profit sector and the role of real estate–owned, leased, or hosted physical space–in the operations, financial performance, and achievement of mission by not-for-profit organizations of all sizes and mission types.
Panelists and presenters from the not-for-profit sector, government, the real estate industry, and the professions will explore diverse themes of direct relevance to not-for-profits. This year’s topics will include: lessons in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy; the links between markets, mission, and property strategies; the role of project management in construction and renovations both large and small; achieving and preserving property tax exemptions; effective design, selection, and management of event spaces; sustainability from the perspective of owner and tenant; and federal and state not-for-profit legal compliance in the context of property decisions. We will also extend our ongoing discussion of the social and economic impacts of not-for-profits as urban neighbors in the broader community.
