Hello, Chicago REALTORS®! I’m Michelle Mills Clement, CAR’s new Chief Executive Officer. I’m excited to get to know you all a little better as I settle into my new role.
A little about me – I’m a native Chicagoan but I’ve been in Washington state the past five years, predominantly working in commercial real estate. I’m excited for this opportunity to lead such a nationally renowned, well-run organization. I love what CAR represents, which is being the Voice of Real Estate in Chicago.
You, our members, represent over 77 neighborhoods in the City of Chicago alone. Chicago REALTORS® impact just about every aspect of life in our city because of the work that you do. People buy or rent a home. They shop in our stores. They work in our office buildings. We touch so many, and that’s why I truly love working in real estate.
I look forward to working closely with you to better understand the unique challenges you face in your business and your communities, and the role your association can play in solving them. I want you to have full access to the services and resources you need. I plan on spending as much time in the field, getting to know you, as possible. If you see me around, please come say hi!
Our work is made possible thanks to the volunteerism of the hundreds of members, just like you, who serve on our board of directors, committees and work groups. We need your voice at the table – and we’re accepting applications for our various work groups and committees. I highly encourage you to take an active role in your association – it’s just another way you can have an impact in your community and help shape our association’s future.
I’m excited to be here and to learn from you all, and I look forward to working together in the years to come.
