Kirk Sykes, president of New Boston’s Urban Strategy America Fund LP, has been appointed chairman of the board of directors for the Real Estate Executive Council (REEC).
Sykes will succeed Quintin Primo, who served as chairman since 2003. Sykes previously was vice chairman under Primo for three years.
"I welcome this opportunity to expand upon the initiatives that we began as a board and membership 10 years ago," Sykes said in a statement. "We have grown as an organization, and the real estate industry has changed. Therefore, REEC will adapt and innovate in the current financial climate in order to benefit all of our members and to advance the role of people of color in this industry."
