“We are thrilled that Najee has joined our team,” said Sarah Rayne, HCAR’s Chief Executive Officer. “It is HCAR’s goal to be Howard County’s voice and leading advocate for homeownership, the real estate industry, and those issues that most affect the association’s members, while enhancing the REALTOR® image in the profession and within our community. Najee’s wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in Howard County, will allow us to build a solid advocacy program, with a strong focus on increasing homeownership for marginalized communities and building an organizational foundation of equity and inclusion.”
