Ruggieri was selected by NAR’s 2014 Leadership Team. “In assembling the 2014 team that will address the industry’s recovery from one of the worst economic downturns in our lifetimes, we looked for a specific set of leadership qualities in our committee members: a passion for our industry, a forward-looking vision for our association and a diverse set of experiences,” stated Steve Brown, 2013 NAR President-Elect. Ruggieri’s term on these committees will begin December 2013.

Ruggieri was named to the NAR Presidential Advisory Group on Commercial Real Estate, which met in Chicago in June 2013.
