Florida Realtors®’ Leadership Academy Graduates Look Ahead to Real Estate Industry Future


ORLANDO, Fla., October 2018 – Florida Realtors® recently honored the 19 Realtor® members of the state association’s Leadership Academy upon their graduation from the class.

The Leadership Academy was established in 2008 to identify emerging Realtor® leaders ready to get involved, make a difference and enhance their leadership skills. The goal of the Academy is to empower its participants to develop the skills needed to lead a committee, a Realtor® association or a community.

“It’s been a privilege to work alongside these current and future Realtor® leaders, who dedicated so much of their time and energies to the Leadership Academy,” said 2018 Leadership Academy Committee Chairman Gonzalo Mejia, a Jacksonville Realtor® and member of the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors. “I know how hard they’ve worked to get the most value from their year in the Leadership Academy. Their dedication and professionalism will lead to great success. The future of the real estate industry, Florida Realtors® and our communities couldn’t be in better hands.”

This year’s vice chair for the academy class was Sandra Fernandez from the Miami Association of Realtors. Members of the Leadership Academy participated in classroom activities, group and independent study sessions, team-building and goal-setting exercises, leadership techniques and communication skills enhancement. In addition, they formed small groups to conduct several projects on behalf of Florida Realtors®.

Graduates of Florida Realtors® Leadership Academy in 2018 also included Louise McLean, Space Coast Association of REALTORS®.

"It was an honor to be accepted into the Florida Realtors Leadership Academy," Mclean said. "The knowledge I obtained will be a benefit as I move forward in leadership rolls, not only with the Space Coast Association of REALTORS® but within Brevard County as well. I also gained lifelong friendships within my class that consisted of other leaders from across our state."
