Greetings <strong>NAREB</strong> Family, Dignitaries, Partners and Friends,<br />
It is with great pleasure and genuine warmth that I extend a heartfelt<br />
welcome to each and every one of you to the beautiful Queen City of<br />
Charlotte, North Carolina! As we gather here for our Mid-Winter Conference<br />
<strong>2024</strong>, I want you to know that our doors are open wide, and we embrace<br />
you with the spirit of sweet Southern hospitality.<br />
Charlotte, NC, also known as the Queen City, is a truly remarkable<br />
city that offers a multitude of opportunities and a vibrant atmosphere.<br />
one of the most remarkable aspects of this city is the presence of Black excellence, which shines brightly<br />
across various sectors. It is with great pride that we acknowledge the leadership of our Black, female mayor,<br />
who epitomizes the strength and determination of our community. her achievement is a testament to<br />
Charlotte’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity.<br />
We are deeply humbled and honored to have been chosen as one of the nine cities on the prestigious<br />
Building Black Wealth Tour. This selection speaks volumes about the remarkable economic growth that<br />
<strong>NAREB</strong> has already brought to our city, and for that, we are immensely grateful. Charlotte proudly stands as a<br />
beacon of Black excellence, a testament to our collective commitment to creating a prosperous future for all.<br />
I would be remiss if I didn’t express my deepest gratitude to the visionary leader of our organization,<br />
Madam President Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose. Her dedication and foresight have propelled us to new<br />
heights, inspiring us to strive for excellence in all that we do. I would also like to acknowledge our<br />
exceptional Executive Team, whose passion and commitment to our mission continue to drive us forward.<br />
Then we have our Past Presidents whose tireless efforts from the foundation upon which our success is built.<br />
A special mention goes out to our Conference Committee, the unsung heroes working diligently behind the<br />
scenes. They have poured their hearts and souls into curating an educationally enriching conference, offering<br />
you countless opportunities to learn, network, and grow. And, of course, we cannot forget the fun! We have<br />
planned an unforgettable experience that will leave you inspired, rejuvenated, and ready to conquer new<br />
horizons both personally and professionally.<br />
As you immerse yourself in this experience, let the city’s charm and dynamism fuel your aspirations. Its<br />
regal association, derived from Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, speaks volumes about the city’s rich<br />
history and its commitment to excellence.<br />

Welcome to Charlotte!<br />
It is my pleasure to send warm greetings to the members of the National Association of Real<br />
Estate Brokers as you gather for your Mid-Winter Conference. Your mission to promote<br />
equitable housing and property ownership policies for historically marginalized communities is<br />
more important now than ever.<br />
As a member of the Charlotte City Council, I understand firsthand the challenges our<br />
communities face in accessing affordable housing and financial services.<br />
That is why I am committed to policies that break down barriers and open doors for all residents,<br />
regardless of race, ethnicity or income. Initiatives like down payment assistance programs, antidisplacement<br />
measures and fair housing enforcement are critical priorities for our city.<br />
The work of <strong>NAREB</strong> and its members has paved the way for countless families to achieve the<br />
dream of homeownership and build generational wealth. Your leadership in providing education,<br />
mentorship and advocacy for minority real estate professionals also helps ensure our industry<br />
reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. Charlotte is proud to host your conference, and<br />
I hope it will inspire and empower you to keep fighting for justice and opportunity.<br />
Though the path to equity is long, I have no doubt <strong>NAREB</strong> will continue to lead with courage,<br />
compassion and conviction. Please accept my best wishes for an engaging conference and my<br />
sincere appreciation for all you do to build a more just society.<br />
In solidarity,<br />

Council member, At-large<br />

Congresswoman<br />
Alma S. Adams<br />
Representative (D-NC, 12th District)<br />
After winning a special election in November<br />
2014, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D.<br />
was sworn in immediately as the 100th woman<br />
elected to the 113th Congress. Congresswoman<br />
Adams was elected to her fifth full term<br />
representing the 12th Congressional District of<br />
North Carolina on November 8, 2022.<br />
Representative Adams serves on the Committee<br />
on Education & the Workforce and the Committee<br />
on Agriculture. She holds several leadership roles; as Assistant Whip for<br />
the Democratic Caucus, Ranking Member of the Committee on Education<br />
& Labor’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, and co-chair of the<br />
Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus, the Black Maternal Health<br />
Caucus, and the e-Learning Caucus. She has previously served on multiple<br />
committees including the House Committee on Financial Services and the<br />
House Committee on Small Business.<br />
Her signature legislative accomplishment in Congress is the enactment of<br />
H.R. 5363, the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources<br />
for Education (FUTURE) Act which permanently provides funding totaling<br />
$255 million a year for all Minority-Serving Institutions, including $85<br />
million for HBCUs.<br />
The 4Hs - For Congresswoman Alma Adams, there are four necessities<br />
that all people require to live a quality life – affordable and accessible<br />
healthcare, access to healthy and nutritious food, fair and affordable<br />
housing, and a quality, first-class education. These essentials, which Alma<br />
calls “the 4H’s”, should not be political issues; they should be rights<br />
guaranteed to all people. She believes this because she knows personally<br />
how hard it is to survive without them.<br />

four high school friends formed the group in 1992 and called themselves Dru<br />
Hill after their Baltimore neighborhood Druid Hill Park.<br />
The group was discovered while performing at a music industry convention.<br />
Their performance grabbed the attention of an Island Records exec who<br />
asked the group to record a cut of the song "Tell Me" which would appear in<br />
the film "Eddie." Their performance was so impressive that their version<br />
replaced the original version sung by Blackstreet member Dave Hollister.<br />
Dru Hill was signed to Island Records on the spot. "Tell Me" appears on the<br />
group's 1996 self-titled debut album, which is certified platinum. The single<br />

Fort Hood army base. Raised in the Third Ward area of<br />
Houston, Texas. He attended Jack Yates High School<br />
and Texas Southern University pursuing a degree in<br />
Criminal Justice. In 2014, Floyd started his professional<br />
driving career with C. R. England, one of the nation’s largest refrigerated carriers; later<br />
accepted a position with W. M. Dewy and Son, Inc. hauling custom pipes to their<br />
specific destinations.<br />
On May 26, 2020, Floyd learned that his older brother, George “Perry” Floyd, Jr. had<br />
been murdered by four police officers in Minneapolis after a store clerk alleged that<br />
he passed a counterfeit $20 bill. The world watched as named officer, Derek Chauvin<br />
knelt on George’s neck for 9 minutes and ½ minutes.<br />
Globally, George’s death sparked a world-wide outpour of protests. The day after<br />
laying George to rest, June 10, 2020, Philonise testified before the United States<br />

nearly 900,000 residents. Mayor Lyles'<br />
tenure is marked by proactive community engagement and decisive<br />
action on affordable housing. She has been instrumental in marshaling<br />

now links key parts of the city. This complements her commitment to a<br />
Vision Zero strategy, aiming to eliminate traffic fatalities. Mayor Lyles has<br />

City of Mount Vernon, New York<br />
Shawn Patterson-Howard is the Mayor of the City of<br />
Mount Vernon, New York serving the people of the<br />
historic Westchester community as the first woman in<br />
this capacity since her inauguration in 2020.<br />
With over three decades in public service as a leader<br />
in the early fight against the HIV-AIDS epidemic, a<br />
social worker, and non-profit executive director,<br />
Mayor Patterson-Howard employs her<br />
straightforward and pragmatic style to advocate for<br />
and raise the profile of the state’s eighth densest city.<br />
A somewhat reluctant politician,<br />
Mayor Patterson-Howard relies on collaboration and partnership on every level to<br />
address everyday issues and major crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic and food<br />
insecurity to infrastructure failures and gun violence, to set Mount Vernon on a path<br />
to growth, resilience, sustainability, and true governance.<br />
Mayor Patterson-Howard was reared with her sister on the southside of Mount<br />
Vernon by her mother and stepfather. She first became acquainted with Mt. Vernon<br />
government when she would visit her grandfather, the City’s very first African-<br />
American employee, an elevator operator in City Hall.<br />
A product of the City’s public school system, then Shawn Patterson, went to Howard<br />
University, the real “HU,” where she would pick up both a degree from the School of<br />
Social Work and a new last name when she wed her husband Marvin Howard in their<br />
sophomore year. “SPH”, her newly minted moniker furthered her education with a<br />
Master’s in Public Administration and Urban/Community Planning from the John Jay<br />
College of Criminal Justice while raising their only child, a daughter, Nia.<br />
Mayor Patterson-Howard’s trailblazing work in public health, specifically AIDS<br />
awareness and reduction, housing for persons with AIDS, immigration programming,<br />
and anti-recidivism/anti-violence efforts, establishment of the County’s first drug<br />
treatment court, executive leadership, and planning and oversight of multi-milliondollar<br />
budgets have prepared her to be a servant leader in government. Still in her<br />
inaugural term, Mayor Patterson-Howard has fast become a force to reckon with as<br />
she has risen to the national stage for her unapologetic advocacy for environmental<br />
justice and resources to remedy the remnants of racist infrastructure.<br />

Mayor Shawn Patterson-Howard continued<br />
Her knack for building strategic partnerships to bring resources and expertise to<br />
her city, and her co-creation of strategies with state and federal partners have been<br />
instrumental in rebuilding trust and preventing disaffection in the future. In three<br />
short years, her efforts and skills have resulted in the acquisition of life-saving<br />
equipment and vaccines to service the community during the height of the<br />
pandemic, the successful “Save and Transform Mt. Vernon Hospital” campaign to<br />
preserve the City’s only hospital and access to lifesaving services, an increase and<br />
improvement of both youth and senior programming, the reopening of the City’s<br />
Historic Memorial Field after a 12-year hiatus, the award of over $150 Million in grant<br />
funding to rebuild the City’s crumbling sewer system (the largest singular award in<br />
New York State history), the launch of the City’s Zombie Home Elimination Initiative,<br />
increased sales tax revenue for three years straight, the paving of more than 120<br />
roads with 150 more scheduled, a 14% reduction in violent crime, the modernization<br />
of the City’s vehicle fleet and first-responder equipment, the establishment of a<br />
Police Wellness Precinct (the first of its kind in the entire Northeast United States),<br />
provided relief to homeowners and businessowners to avoid foreclosure and<br />
eviction, initiation of the City’s Comprehensive Planning process for the first time in<br />
nearly 60 years, and establishment of an Economic Development Center open to<br />
residents of all incomes.<br />
Though Mayor Patterson-Howard continues her family’s legacy of being “first,” the<br />
first woman and person of color appointed President and Chief Executive Officer<br />
for the Yonkers Family YMCA in New York, the first elected woman Mayor in the<br />
City’s 200 plus year history, and the first African American woman and woman-ofcolor<br />
Mayor in the County of Westchester New York’s history; she has no desire to<br />
be “the only” and paves the way for those beside her and behind her.<br />
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Mayor Patterson-Howard values<br />
volunteerism and holds positions on several local and national Board of Directors<br />
including 1st Vice President of the African American Mayor’s Association (AAMA),<br />
Secretary of the Westchester Municipal Officials Association (WMOA), Member of<br />

Elder Gary Sprewell<br />
Minister & Entrepreneur<br />
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has<br />
anointed me to preach the gospel…<br />
Elder Gary Sprewell, a son of the church was<br />
raised at the House of Prayer COGIC in Los<br />
Angeles, California under the leadership of the late<br />
Dr. A.M. Poe Sr. Sprewell preached his first message<br />
at age six and was said to be among the youngest<br />
to be ordained in the Church of God in Christ. An<br />
extremely gifted minister with a passion for souls,<br />
his practical approach and precise prophetic ear<br />
causes him to be a regular guest for some of the<br />
largest and most well known ministries in the<br />
world. Crossing denominational lines, His global<br />
ministry has been received in 15 countries and<br />
on 4 continents. Sprewell is the proud recipient of several prestigious awards,<br />
citations and accommodations from both political and religious sectors. One of<br />
his greatest honors was receiving the Presiding Bishop’s Soul Winners Award<br />
and being named the number one National Evangelist in the entire COGIC<br />
denomination for six consecutive years (2015 – 2020).<br />
Not just a Preacher but also an Entrepreneur, Elder Sprewell is the President<br />
and CEO of GOD SENT MUSIC GROUP, Cartoonrentals.com and GSM Publishing<br />
LLC. In 2008 he was asked to move to Grand Rapids, Michigan to work with<br />
Multi-Award winning Artist Marvin Sapp, “Mr. Never Would’ve Made It” Sprewell<br />
wrote his first book “The Upgrade” in 2016 and is completing his second book<br />
“Limitless” which promises to be a best seller as well. Sprewell’s innovative<br />
and creative mind has set him apart as a quintessential leader of his generation.<br />
He has served tirelessly on all levels of the Church of God In Christ. Nationally<br />
he serves as a founding board member of COGIC Music LLC (COGIC’s record<br />
label), Creator and director of Gifted as well as the founder and director of<br />
Project Emerge (an online mentorship program which now hosts programing on<br />
the word network). In 2022, Sprewell was appointed as President of the<br />
International Department of Evangelism making him not only the youngest to<br />
ever serve but also the first full time evangelist to hold this position. Elder<br />
Sprewell has been blessed to share his ministry on both national radio and<br />
television programs (Word Network, BET, and DayStar to name a few). Also an<br />
anointed psalmist, he recently released his debut album entitled “Gary Sprewell<br />
Church’n With Friends featuring Karen Clark –Sheard, Marvin Sapp, Kierra<br />
Sheard, Chrystal Rucker and many others. To God be the glory! For the Spirit of<br />
the Lord is upon him, for he has anointed him to preach the Gospel…<br />
