8/15/11 - The National Association of Gay & Lesbian Real Estate Professionals Board of Directors (BOD) voted unanimously to appoint Eric Kodner as President of our LGBT and gay friendly Real Estate trade organization. Eric had been Vice President and replaces Todd Shipman who had been NAGLREP's President from 2008 - 2011. Todd Shipman will remain on the NAGLREP Board of Directors.
Eric Kodner brings to NAGLREP a strong desire to lead, and advocate on behalf of the LGBT Real Estate community. Kodner currently is a board member of the NAR Equal Opportunity & Cultural Diversity Committee (EOC), is Chair of the Wisconsin Realtors Association EOC, and also serves as a board member of the CRS Diversity Committee.
Kodner made a name for himself within NAGLREP and NAR in 2009 when on behalf of NAGLREP, he approached the Wisconsin Realtors Association EOC and brought forward a proposal to amend the NAR Code of Ethics to include sexual orientation as a protected class. Almost three years later the vision came to be a reality when in November of 2010 NAR's Delegate Body voted 93% in favor of the proposed amendment.
Other highlights of the NAGLREP BOD meeting includes the addition of 5 new directors to our board. Additions to the NAGLREP BOD include Steve Strode, Shannon Lindstrom, Bruce Williams, Clark Niblock, and Mario Trejo Romero.
