Leading the National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR) Spire program—which provides education, insight and mentorship opportunities for minority communities—Marc Gould supports the organization’s goal of fostering a membership that represents the diverse population of the United States.

Gould is also responsible for leading NAR’s training and development efforts, working to understand the needs of real estate professionals. He aims to improve their lives, to strengthen relationships between individuals in the REALTOR® community, and to promote professionalism within the real estate industry.
