REBNY Fellows
The REBNY Fellows Leadership Program
In 2020, the REBNY Foundation launched a strategic partnership with the Coro New York Leadership Center to address a critical gap in the real estate industry: the development of mid‑career, underrepresented professionals in New York City. Together, we established the REBNY Fellows Program to intentionally shape the industry’s future leadership, equipping rising stars with the network and skills needed to drive executive-level change.
Thank you for your interest in the REBNY Fellows Leadership Program. Applications for the 2027 cohort will open in September. To learn more about previous cohorts, please visit REBNY’s LinkedIn and YouTube pages. For questions or to express early interest in the program, please contact rebnyfellows@rebny.com.
