Founder’s Welcome

Dennis KennedyIt is my pleasure to welcome you to the National Real Estate Diversity Awards. The real estate industry has long been a key driver of economic growth and community development, but true progress can only be achieved with diversity and inclusion at its heart. NREDA was established to recognize the individuals and organizations that are leading the charge for equitable access and representation within the industry.

Through these awards, we celebrate those who have made significant strides in promoting diversity and fostering inclusive practices. The real estate leaders and organizations we honor today serve as examples of what can be achieved when DEI is prioritized. It is my hope that their stories inspire others to continue working toward an industry where everyone, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive.
