"This agent has come forward for nearly ten years to learn, experience and share the governing methods of LREC, LR, NOMAR and NAR. Let it be known that this agent was not looking for the "glass ceiling" but for being part of the growth and legacy of this  profession. This agent learned not only how to perfect the world of Real Estate Business but the inner workings of the Real Estate Profession. I can't imagine not being able to contribute to the "team of BOD" not as an

individual but within the group. Does that mean not having great ideas, impacting this profession, NOT! It is with hope and pride that all the new members desiring to be a Real Estate Professionals can carry the excellent name forward and practice and revere the "Code" as I have had the privilege and benefit for the last forty-seven years. I'm one of the largest RPAC investors in the State and that's without the intent except to give back and continue the efforts of the real estate pioneers. Let's get the current and

following generation of real estate professionals involved early but sharing the need of advocacy and representation within the professional organizations attending at my own costs and time.... I'm not perfect by I'm a committed and proud Louisiana real estate professional."

"I am seeking this position because I have

served at the local level as a director at large and also served as the Vice President for my association. During that time, I learned invaluable information and met and worked with some of the best in the business. I also am I graduate of the LR Leadership Program and believe that being involved is very important and that young people need to step up now in order to be prepared to lead in the future."

"I would like to serve on the Board of

Directors for Louisiana REALTORS because I pride myself and business on education,

training, awareness and staying on top of industry changes. This allows me to better assist my not only my clients, but my colleagues inside my office and agents with other brokerages.. For years, I never knew that we as agents had the opportunity to serve in LA REALTOR Committees. I have been a part of the state committees now for the last 4-5 years and have been advocating for more agents across the state to get more involved with LA REALTOR participation. We have to be the change we want to see and not complain when changes happen. I would like to see more agents become aware of LA REALTORS and use the tools, classes that are provided to us on all levels. I currently serve on the professional development committee locally and LA Realtors. I have my ABR designation and have completed over 25 hours of CE alone this year. I have served on my KW office Board of Directors off and on for the last 18 years and I teach, coach and assistant agents in our local KW Shreveport office.

I would love the opportunity to serve and learn how I can help enhance, support and grow participation for LA REALTOR Association."

"With five years of dedicated experience as a REALTOR®, I've developed a deep understanding of the real estate industry, which has propelled me to the position of Associate Broker at Engel & Volkers, Baton Rouge.

I have also been on the Professional Standards Committee for GBRAR for 5 years. I am also a graduate of the GBRAR Leadership class of 2021.. As the First Vice President of the Baton Rouge Women's Council of REALTORS® in 2024, I have demonstrated my ability to lead and inspire my peers.

"As an active member of the Realtor

Association of Acadiana with 20 plus years of experience, I am eager to rejoin of the State Level again. I previously served on the LR Board for two years while holding the position of Treasurer for RAA (2022-2023). Currently, I serve on our association's MLS committee but my goal is to contribute once again to LR. We are navigating significant changes, and my extensive experience positions me to help LR effectively manage both the recent and upcoming transitions. I believe we are still a work in progress with the newly implemented NAR guidelines and I am confident that, with a strong Board of Directors, we can successfully navigate these uncharted waters. Please consider me for the Director At-Large position as I am committed to being a positive influence and a valuable asset to the Board."

"With the recent changes to our industry I

feel I could be of an asset to help assist agents and brokerage statewide to better understand how to proceed going forward with this change. Not only I would like to better educate my peers, but the general public as well. The media is full of misinformation that could be harmful

to our industry, if not corrected head on. My corporate franchise leadership has stayed at the forefront of the changes and highly educated our offices and agents on how to conduct business for the future. I have been a licensed agent since 2010 with 2 of the last years a licenced broker/owner of a franchise. I have served on my local board as a director on several occasions as well as secretary. Thank you for your consideration!"

"As our industry is changing, I want to work

with our state and local leaders to ensure standards are kept, education is available, and all are supported. As the broker for Louisiana with my company, I am a member of 7 boards and MLS's. This allows me to have an understanding of how these changes are affecting all areas of Louisiana. I also believe that serving is the very best way to also learn."

"I respectfully request inclusion in the

nominations to LR’s Board of Directors for the upcoming election. As a successful Realtor for almost 20 years, and a Broker for 7 of those years, I truly understand the important role that our state BOD plays in maintaining a professional organization from the top down. This group needs to be able to listen to the issues and opportunities presented to them, logically discuss the options that are available and align as one on decisions, while keeping in mind that we represent the entire statewide organization and not our individual markets or brokerages. Real estate, as a profession, is changing everyday and we need to maintain a board comprised of both seasoned and newer Realtors so we can combine the experience and knowledge of the past with the energy from the younger generation. 2025 will bring even more changes to our industry and it is important to have educated Realtors on the BOD to assist in the decision making for our subscribers and participants.

I bring solid leadership to the table, along with a reputation for exploring both options and opportunities. With experience as both a top agent and the broker of a top brokerage, I can be trusted as a knowledgeable source to align with the members of LR’s Board of Directors.

My background includes: RAA President Elect 2014, RAA President 2015, BOD for several years, MLS Chairman, MLS committee for 5 terms, LR Board for 2 years, RAA Board of Directors for 6 years, PR Committee Chairman, Professional Standards Chairman, Political Action Trustee and member, LR Leadership graduate, YPN Mentor, RAA Leadership Mentor, Honor Society Life Member, Top Listing Agent at my company for several years and chair/member of numerous committees and task forces over the years."

"My involvement in my local association

started shortly after i was licensed, getting into committee work which quickly evolved into MLS work and then serving in almost every capacity at our local level. I have participated in the state association since 2014 and have been a state director since 2018 (minus this past year-I had a pretty good distraction). I am passionate about real estate and want to stay in the know about all things that affect me as an agent, my local and state market, but more importantly, my clients. I pride myself in staying involved at all levels, still maintaining a strong relationship with my clients, making sure their real estate needs are met. The people who know me know that I am a "DOER". There are those who sit on the sidelines and those who get in the game and participate. I want to participate and feel very strong about every commitment I make. My interest and involvement in LARPAC is equally strong and I appreciate the many ways it strengthens our industry. I presently serve as the Secretary-Treasurer of our state LARPAC and I am very honored to serve in any capacity needed. I would certainly appreciate your vote and support for State Director."

"With over 11 years as a licensed Realtor

and Broker-Owner of Engel & Völkers Baton Rouge, I bring a wealth of leadership and industry expertise to the table. Supervising a team of 54 agents, I draw on over 30 years of corporate experience in property management and a professional environment, which allows me to effectively navigate complex real estate dynamics. My commitment to the industry is demonstrated through my roles as the 2023 Women’s Council President and 2022 President-Elect, alongside accolades like 2022’s Most Cooperative Realtor at GBRAR and Best Managing Director at Greystar in 2010.

I am deeply passionate about licensing law, risk management, and fostering the growth of our industry. My servant leadership style emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and support for my team and peers. As a mother of six and grandmother of twelve, my dedication to both my family and professional community drives my work.

With my background, leadership skills, and passion for the betterment of real estate, I am confident that I would make a valuable addition to the Louisiana Realtors Association Board of Directors in 2025."

I am also a member of NOMPAT and the Professional Standards committee of both NOMAR and Louisiana REALTORS. In addition, in years past, I have served on numerous committees as either chair or committee member.

I feel that it is important that I continue to serve and be involved with both organizations. My experience as a successful agent combined with committee and board participation will be an asset to our organization as we face the challenges ahead."

"I want to continue to represent Realtors

from across the state in this time of change and uncertainty. My experience on the state level with LR and as a director and former president of ROAM MLS has given me valuable skills to work with other leaders around the state and beyond to advance policies for the benefit of all. Being a leader means working with others to gain consensus, being an advocate, and representing our profession with the highest standards. I would appreciate you voting for me for At-Large Director."

"I have served on the NABOR board for 2

years. During that time, I created a YPN chapter and grew membership to over 50 members in two years. I currently serve as Chair of YPN as we work to relaunch (and charter!) our once powerful chapter. Prior to NABOR, I served on the board of Junior League of Greater Covington for 5 years and was president from 2019-2020. Professionally, I've been in sales all my life, and have working full-time in real estate for the past 5 years. I currently serve on staff at Keller Williams Realty Services where I coach agents, teach classes, and recruit agents to join KW. I believe my board experience, youthful energy, and desire to collaborate across all channels will be a great asset to the Louisiana Realtors Board of Directors. I am passionate about our industry and the challenges we are currently facing, and I'd love to play a small role in strengthening our real estate community across Louisiana and beyond."
