Carrie J. Little graduates from 2019 National Association of REALTORS Leadership Academy

Carrie J. Little, a REALTOR for 18 years from West Chicago, Illinois has graduated from the 2019 National Association of REALTORS Leadership Academy.

Little is designated managing broker/owner of CarMarc Realty Group and a continuing education instructor in multiple states. She was selected from the membership ranks through a rigorous application and interview process by the NAR Leadership Academy Advisory Group.

"NAR's Leadership Academy provides one on one experiences and tools that equip volunteer leaders for future opportunities at the state, local, and national level," said NAR Senior Vice President, Marc Gould. "Volunteer leaders are crucial to our industry and by better understanding the needs and strategies of our trade association, Leadership Academy graduates can affect change at all levels of the organization."

The program brings together a network of agents from all over the United States to collaborate and learn about advocacy opportunities, leadership opportunities and ways to become more involved on a local level.

"Since completing the NAR Leadership Academy, I've brought everything I learned in the courses back to my boutique brokerage," said Little. "Implementing those tools will help my agents become more successful now and in the future."

"The NAR Leadership Academy provided an excellent opportunity for Carrie to build new connections in our industry," said John Gormley, CEO of the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, of which Carrie is a member. "We'd love to see more Mainstreet REALTORS follow her and participate in the program in future years, to continue to bring these benefits back to Northern Illinois."

Let's congratulate Little and the NAR Leadership Academy graduating class of 2019 as they are part of an energized movement of real estate professionals fighting to keep the dream of homeownership alive for our country.
