Please see the message from NAR President Tracy Kasper below.
Dear Members, In June of this year, Bob Goldberg indicated his intention to retire. Last month, Bob shared with me privately his desire to make his retirement effective this fall. He planned to announce that decision on Tuesday but chose to hold off given the news around the outcome of the trial. Today, the Leadership Team unanimously voted to appoint Nykia Wright as NAR’s interim CEO. She will start full time on November 20. Read the press release here: https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/nar-announces-leadership-transition. Nykia is the former Chief Executive Officer of the Chicago Sun-Times, an entrepreneur, and a strategic advisor to leading companies and universities. She will bring to this role significant expertise and a valuable outside perspective. She has a deep understanding of the ways in which NAR empowers REALTORS® to help families across America realize the dream of homeownership. Nykia’s experience driving transformational change for mission-driven organizations positions her to help NAR embark on the next phase of leading our industry. In the meantime, the LT is committed to continuing the search process for a permanent CEO in the most thoughtful and thorough way possible. I am immensely grateful for Bob’s leadership and decades-long service to NAR. It has been a privilege to work with him in expanding and strengthening our association, and I hope you will join me in congratulating him on his well-deserved retirement. His contributions to our association and our industry have been tremendous. We look forward to working with Nykia as a bridge to NAR’s future – one that will continue to have us be a force for good in the real estate industry. Thank you!!
Tracy Kasper NAR President
