Candidates for 2025–2026
Michele Hunt
I would like to serve as NAR Director as an opportunity to continue my service to the organization and to bring my years of leadership experience throughout the REALTOR® organization to bring perspective and value. Having served both locally and nationally for the REALTORS® and Women’s Council of REALTORS® I can contribute knowledge, help foster collaboration, drive positive action, help encourage future leaders, and represent the REALTOR® brand in a positive and optimistic manner. I would be honored to serve.
Garrett Nelson
I currently serve as an NAR director for SKCR. I’d like to continue in this role. We’re at a pivotal time in our industry and associations. The experiences I’ve had in leadership at the local level can help other local and state associations, as well as NAR. There are many opportunities to share the successes of our local association at the national level, and I believe I’m well suited for that. I’ve applied to be the vice chairs of the Large Board Forum and Local Leadership Idea Exchange Council in hopes of bringing our local successes to other boards.
