Adam Bray Ali
A proud PFAR member since 2009, I have had the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the MLS Committee. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the work PFAR does to support its members, strengthen our profession, and serve our communities.
I am seeking the role of President-Elect with a focus on servant leadership, collaboration, and meaningful service to our members. I look forward to supporting our incoming President and Board while helping position PFAR as the association of choice for real estate professionals throughout our region.
Strong associations are built on strong relationships. I believe this includes not only our REALTOR® members, but also the affiliate members and business partners who contribute so much to the success of our industry and our association.
As Pasadena and Altadena continue to recover and rebuild following the Eaton Fire, PFAR has an important opportunity to lead through service and community partnership. My goal is to help create an environment where our members, affiliates, and communities can thrive—working together, supporting one another, and enabling good outcomes for all.
I would be honored to have the opportunity to serve PFAR in this next chapter.
