## Resource

Since its founding in 1896, the Real Estate Board of New York has played a pivotal role in shaping the city through cycles of growth, challenge, and reinvention. Many of today’s policies and planning decisions can be traced back to that long history of advocacy. In this episode, we’re joined by Steven Spinola, REBNY’s longest-serving President, and Jim Whelan, REBNY’s current President, to reflect on the organization’s most defining moments and what they reveal about the future of New York City.
