The association fills vacant VP roles in its advocacy group
The National Association of Realtors has made a handful of major appointments within its advocacy team.
First off, Bryan Greene has been promoted to vice president of policy advocacy. He took over from Joe Ventrone, who recently announced his retirement after serving at NAR for 17 years. Greene now has oversight of all of NAR’s public policy and industry relations.
Meanwhile, Joe Harris, who joined NAR in 2015, has been tapped to serve as vice president of government advocacy. He most recently worked as director of federal legislative and political affairs and has spent eight years of his career on Capitol Hill handling legislative portfolios for both Senator Joe Liberman (I-CT) and Congressman John Spratt (D-SC).
Additionally, Helen Devlin has been named to vice president of strategy. Before her promotion, Devlin was director of federal legislative and political affairs. She has also served at the Capitol Hill as chief of staff and legislative aide.
“This group fills out a dream team of talent and professionalism that will help solidify our advocacy group’s position as the envy of Washington,” said Shannon McGahn, chief advocacy officer of NAR. “Bryan, Joe and Helen are invaluable to our work with both lawmakers on Capitol Hill and regulators throughout this city, and I’m tremendously proud and excited to announce their promotions to these new and much-deserved roles.”
“Bryan, Joe and Helen are exceptional and experienced leaders, and I am excited to see what they will accomplish in their new roles at NAR,” said NAR CEO Bob Goldberg. “I have received many compliments about our modernized and revamped advocacy operation, and these successes would not be possible without this team. With the foundation and strategic vision laid out by Bill Malkasian, Joe Ventrone and our new chief advocacy officer Shannon McGahn, we will have many more successes to celebrate in 2021 and beyond.”
