Pam O’Connor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

After serving as president and CEO of Leading Real Estate<\/a> Companies of the World since it was founded 21 years ago, Pam O\u2019Connor will retire from her position on March 31.<\/p>\n

Under O\u2019Connor\u2019s leadership, LeadingRE has grown as a global organization to include 565 member firms in 65 countries spanning six continents. She also oversaw the formation of a separate corporate relocation company, RELO Direct Inc.; LeadingRE\u2019s luxury marketing program, Luxury Portfolio International; and a successful online learning platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cPam has been the force behind the remarkable growth of our network,\u201d says Joe Horning, chair of LeadingRE\u2019s board of directors and president of Shorewest, REALTORS\u00ae, based in Brookfield, Wis. \u201cWith incredible passion, talent, and dedication, Pam has spent decades building programs that support the success of independent brokerages. Her influence across the industry is undeniable, and we are immeasurably thankful for her years of leadership.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connor became the first female executive to lead<\/a> a major real estate network in 1985 when she headed All Points Relocation Service and RELO. She also co-owned Bryson-O\u2019Connor Public Relations in Atlanta in the early 1980s. She plans to remain active in the real estate industry as a consultant and will join LeadingRE\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say it has been an honor to work alongside the leaders of the best real estate companies in the world, as well as our incredibly talented staff, is an understatement,\u201d O\u2019Connor said in a statement. \u201cI am both gratified by what we have achieved together and excited to see what the future holds for LeadingRE and its extraordinary companies and people.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeadingRE\u2019s affiliate-to-affiliate referral sales volume has grown to billions of dollars annually during O\u2019Connor time in leadership, with a lead conversion rate of nearly 50 percent. Aside from her achievements at the company, O’Connor is also an honorary lifetime member of the Metropolitan Atlanta Relocation Council, and served on the board of directors and executive committee of Worldwide ERC. She was the sixth person to receive the H. Cris Collie Leadership Award from Worldwide ERC for her lifetime achievements in the relocation sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving had the privilege to work with Pam for the last 13 years, I have learned a great deal from her about the value of relationships and the importance of staying ahead of trends,\u201d says Paul Boomsma, LeadingRE\u2019s chief operating officer and president and founder of the Luxury Portfolio International division. Boomsma will take over as president and CEO of LeadingRE upon O\u2019Connor\u2019s retirement. \u201cWhile her day-to-day involvement will certainly be missed, we are so thankful she will continue to play an important role as a member of our board of directors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The National Association of REALTORS\u00ae\u2019 associate counsel Jessica Edgerton will join LeadingRE as executive vice president of operations, and Stephanie Anton will move from vice president to president of Luxury Portfolio International.<\/p>\n
