Julius Cartwright
NAREB President/CEO
Greetings fellow REALTIST® family and friends.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for your support and encouraging words as I accepted the mantle of President of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers® in New Orleans LA.
As a member for the past 22 years, I have had the opportunity to work in many of capacities within the NAREB® organization; for the past 8 years, on the ascending line to the presidency. Over these years, I have met many of you and have recognized and appreciated all the work you do on behalf of your local boards and our national association.
I am excited about serving as President for the next two years and the journey we are about to take toward an "Era of New Leadership". Together, we are about to embark on initiatives and programs geared toward increasing revenues for our members and organization. We will work to strengthen the local boards by attracting new members and re-engaging existing and past members. We will strengthen and develop our local and national leaders, implement financial enhancement opportunities for all and grow our position and recognition within the real estate industry.
I invite you to find out more about the many initiatives and programs that we are planning by going to our national website www.nareb.com. There you will find information about our Home Assurance Program (HAP), State of Housing in Black America, the Hip Hop summit Action Network; as well as many other innovative and exciting initiatives.
NAREB® has a rich history of serving the underserved, ensuring "Democracy in Housing" and creating opportunities for our members. It is through this work (we do together) that NAREB® has become an extended family to countless members and we will continue to add to this family one REALTIST® at a time.
Once again, I thank you for your support and look forward to working with you. Our organization has survived the past 64 years because of how our members worked together for the common good of all. Today it is no different; we must continue our work (together) in order to achieve our individual and organizational destiny.
As President, I stand ready to lead, but I cannot lead without your help and support. Please pray for me and our organization as we strive to make NAREB® a household name.
God Bless.
Julius L. Cartwright
