“Emulating successful leaders and businessmen and women is a good way to grow and succeed,” said Las Vegas Realtors Andy Stahl, a member of the academy’s 2019 class. “When multiple respected peers completed this program and recommended it to me, I jumped at the chance to follow in their footsteps. I’m looking forward to surrounding myself with intelligent individuals and sharing in the accountability that leads to personal and business growth.”
Elko Realtors Marcella Syme will serve as the Leadership Academy dean in 2019. Las Vegas Realtors Tim Kuptz is the past dean. Las Vegan Stephanie Dibbs is the second-year trustee.
