Gotham please join me in congratulating my good friend Tom Grech who started as Executive Director of the Queens Chamber of Commerce (announcement below (unless you are on digest and I will be please to forward) today (July 1, 2015).  
I have worked with Tom on any number of projects and endeavors over the several years we’ve known each other.  Some (maybe all)  may also recall Tom became a member of GOtham GREEN® last December when his then company won one of our prestigious GOtham GREEN Awards®.   Tom succeeds my late friend and fellow Gotham Towers member, Jack Friedman, who was a great asset to Gotham.   
Tom already proved an asset to Gotham in his prior gig and we expect him to become a greater asset in his new role.

Best.
-Corey
