Congratulations to Michael Gobber, managing broker-partner at Century 21 Affiliated in Westchester and an active member of Illinois REALTORS®, who has been named the 2021 treasurer nominee for the state association.
An Illinois REALTORS® Board of Directors vote is expected to formally place Gobber on the association’s leadership ladder later this year. His selection by the association’s Nominating Committee was announced Thursday, June 18, 2020.
Gobber is a member of the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS® and led his local association as president in 2019.
At the state level, Gobber is a member of the Illinois REALTORS® Board of Directors and in 2020 also serves on the REALTORS® Political Involvement Working Group, Finance Committee, Professional Standards Committee and is on the REEF Board of Directors.
He has a long history of association involvement, working on a variety of committees, the Young Professionals Network and as a State Legislative Contact. He was a member of the Illinois REALTORS® Leadership Development Class in 2017.
Gobber is on the National Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors and is a member of the 2020 Broker Engagement Council. His previous committee appointments include NAR’s Consumer Communications Committee and the Federal Financing & Housing Policy Committee.
Once the nominating committee’s selection is sanctioned by the association’s board of directors, Gobber will join other Illinois REALTOR® leaders in 2021, including Sue Miller, who will become president; Ezekiel “Zeke” Morris, who will become president-elect and Ed Neaves, who will be immediate past president.
