What does it take to turn around a legacy institution in the midst of industry upheaval? Nykia Wright, CEO of the National Association of Realtors, brings deep turnaround experience and a bold vision to one of the most pivotal leadership roles in real estate today. In this fireside chat, she’ll share how her background leading organizational transformation is guiding NAR through a post-settlement reset, and what it means for brokers, lenders, and association leaders alike.
Wright is focused on rebuilding trust, delivering transparency, and aligning NAR’s services. From launching member surveys to driving cultural change, she’s reshaping the association to be more agile, accountable, and member-centric. This conversation will offer actionable insights on what’s next for the industry’s largest trade group and how business and association leaders can adapt and lead alongside her.
