Special to SABEW
CHICAGO – lyce Glink, an award-winning real estate journalist and founder of Think Glink Media, will be recognized by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers with one of its highest honors, the President’s Award.
Glink will receive the honor Saturday, April 25, at SABEW’s annual conference in Chicago.
Gibbs, a longtime SABEW member, is being honored for her years of service to the organization, including her key role as chair of the conference, which is expected to attract more than 200 leading business journalists, educators, students and policymakers. Glink is scheduled to receive the award shortly after lunchtime remarks by Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner.
“Ilyce stepped up to take on the demanding role of conference chair and produced an incredible program that will deliver top-quality training, networking and access to newsmakers,” said Marty Wolk, SABEW president and assigning editor at NerdWallet. “Ilyce has been incredibly generous with her time and resources over the year, and I have relied heavily on her ideas and advice. She is richly deserving of this honor.”
Glink is the author of over a dozen books, including the best-selling “100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask” and “Buy, Close, Move In!” Glink has served as an on-air real estate and personal finance expert for “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and virtually every major national television network, as well many other local stations. Among her many honors, she was named one of the 30 Most Influential Women in Housing 2014 by HopusingWire, and she also won the first Money $mart award from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
In addition to Rauner, speakers at SABEWE’s annual conference include Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and leading financial writers Ron Lieber, Philip Moeller, Diana Henriques, Larry Kotlikoff and Liz Weston.
The conference kicks off Thursday evening with a panel featuring University of Chicago economists Austan Goolsbee and Randall Kroszner.
