Join me in congratulating our new CMO and CCDO
Earlier today, we announced two key new roles within GVR that’ll help us serve you more efficiently.
Ashutosh “Ash” Anil will start his new role as GVR’s Chief Membership Officer (CMO) on Monday, September 23.
The CMO is a new senior leadership position developed to help GVR identify the tools and technology, systems, and process improvements necessary to provide exceptional customer service to the organization’s more than 15,000 REALTOR® members and 500 real estate brokerages.
Learn more about the wealth of experience Ash brings to this new role.
We also announced that Craig Munn will be GVR’s new Chief Corporate Development Officer (CCDO).
In this new role, Craig will work within the executive team to help lead strategy implementation, stakeholder engagement, pursue key business opportunities, and build and strengthen GVR partnerships and relationships across the real estate profession and overall business community.
The purpose of this new leadership role within GVR is to ensure we are dedicating the time and resources to think differently about our business. Times and conditions are changing, and we need talented people exploring new partnerships and other opportunities that allow us to disrupt, evolve and innovate our products and services.
Craig most recently served GVR with distinction as the Vice President of Communication and Events where his responsibilities included internal and external communication, media and public relations, content strategy, issues management, and stakeholder engagement.
Please join me in congratulating Ash and Craig!
Get your office going with the Paragon Connect mobile app
Another major step forward at GVR is the release of our new dedicated mobile app, Paragon Connect. It’s been a longstanding member request, and we’re excited for not just Paragon Connect, but a host of other services and tools that’ll roll out over the coming weeks and months.
You and the members in your office can get started by downloading the app from the Apple App store or Google Play store.
Then, use our resources including a quick start guide and a library of training videos that’ll walk you through the app’s functionality. And remember, it’s seamless - anything you change in Paragon Connect will also update in the traditional Paragon system, so you can switch between platforms from the office to the road.
Watch for more news about free webinar training and how you can set up office visits from Paragon Connect experts soon!
