Berg, Wallace will be honored at benefit dinner.

James F. Berg, the president of the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, will be the guest of honor at the 50th Anniversary Dinner of The Bridge, a New York City social service agency that provides housing and other services for the mentally ill.

The dinner, which will be held on Tuesday evening, June 15, at Tavern on the Green, will also present a special award to CBS veteran newsman Mike Wallace.

"We are honoring Jim Berg for his decades of constructive and successful work in the field of labor relations that has greatly benefited us and all owners of residential and commercial buildings in New York City," said Dr. Peter Beitchman, executive director of The Bridge. "Mike Wallace is being recognized for his outstanding coverage of mental health issues," Dr. Beitchman said.

Co-Chairing the dinner are D. Kenneth Patton, of New York University's Real Estate Institute; Edward A. Riguardi, of Jones Lang LaSalle; RAB labor counsel Paul Salvatore, of Proskauer Rose LLP; Cynthia Wainwright, president of The Bridge; and Fred Ward, of One Source.

Berg, an attorney, is a graduate of Fordham University and St. John's University Law School. He has been with the RAB since 1970 and represents owners and agents in all facets of labor relations, including contract negotiations with unions.

Proceeds from the 50th Anniversary Dinner will assist The Bridge in its work with the mentally ill, especially in making more housing available. Currently, The Bridge provides private apartments for 433 people in 15 buildings located in Manhattan and Queens, and will soon have two buildings in the Bronx.
