OUR PRESIDENT'S END OF YEAR MESSAGE

Michael Hoard, Attorney and Owner, Hoard Law, P.C.

Michael Hoard, Esq.

Chapter President, 2019-2022

Former Chairman of the Board, 2017-2018

Charlotte Crown Black Real Estate Association


It is my honor and privilege to serve as the President of the Charlotte Crown Black Real

Estate Association, a local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers

(NAREB). NAREB is the oldest minority trade association and promotes “democracy in

housing.” NAREB understands that the disparity in homeownership numbers along racial

and ethnic lines is unacceptable. The goal is to remove that disparity. Our chapter has

diligently moved this goal forward locally.


And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet

resting places. - Isaiah 32:18


COVID-19 has changed the landscape for quite a few of us. In the second year of the

pandemic, we have adjusted to a new way of living. Although God has blessed us with

scientific advancements to combat the pandemic, it has continued to impact the way that we do

business. Our organization strives to assist with development of our members and increase

Black homeownership within our community.


In 2021, the virtual landscape made it difficult to network and operate in person. We had to find

new ways to communicate and provide support for the community. Through the commitment,

dedication and expertise of the Board, the Committee Chairs, and the Committee members, we

have continued to improve lives, increased Black Homeownership, supported Black

entrepreneurs and planted seeds in the Charlotte region that will bear fruit after our work is

done.


Significant Activities in 2021:

· Hosted Mayor Vy Lyles to speak on development and equity in Charlotte’ changing

landscape.

· Hosted developer, Don Peebles to discuss the redevelopment of Brooklyn Village.

· Kicked off the year with an economic outlook, presented by a Wells Fargo

Economist.

· Volunteered at Care to Share.

· Volunteered at a Roof Above for Operation Sandwich

· Sponsored the Black Food Truck festival.

· Participated in WCNC’s disparity in Lending forum

· Conducted our signature homebuyer event - “Get on the Bus Tour” for the

community.

· Conducted a forum on reverse mortgages for the community.

· Hosted “Meet the Board,” which was our first in person event since the Pandemic

began.


May these holidays be a source of joy, peace and reflection for you and your families. Take this

as an opportunity to reenergize for the new year. We will fight new battles to close the

homeownership gap for Black Americans. We will be intentional about supporting Black

businesses in the 2022 and beyond. I look forward to my final year as President and leaving a

strong foundation for the organization when my term is over. We welcome your support!


God Bless You,


Michael Hoard, Esq.
