Brenda Huelle, Maryland Realtors Leadership Academy Graduate, Class of 2024

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Brenda Huelle, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty, LLC, in Bowie, MD, graduated from the Maryland REALTORS®’ Leadership Academy, a leadership development program that builds leaders for the industry and in the communities they serve.

“We are always excited to announce a new graduating class of our popular Leadership Academy program,” said Joanie Hynes, Chair of the Leadership Academy Advisory Group. “We’re very proud of Brenda. She will share her new leadership skills where she lives and works: within the communities she serves, with her local real estate board, the Southern Maryland Association of REALTORS® (SMAR), even serving statewide with Maryland REALTORS® or nationally with the National Association of REALTORS®.”

A former middle school teacher, Huelle uses her education background to guide her clients through the process of buying or selling a home. In 2022, Huelle was elected as the inaugural president of the Southern Maryland Chapter of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance and was recently reelected to the same position, this year. She is also a member of the Women's Council of REALTORS® Southern Maryland Chapter. 

The mission of the Leadership Academy is to build tomorrow’s strong leaders today, leaders who can address the challenges facing real estate with professionalism, transparency, and leadership.

The Leadership Academy annually reviews applications coming from all corners of the state to select a diversified group of qualified members for the prestigious program.  The program consists of seven sessions held monthly between October and April, to develop distinct leadership skills and competencies.  Courses include legislative and advocacy, communication skills, and relationship management and networking. Most who enter the program go on to serve in leadership capacities within their communities and with Maryland REALTORS® at the state level. 

“For REALTORS®, this is a program that sets you up for success,” said Chris Hill, 2024 Maryland REALTORS® President. “As a graduate myself, I can attest personally how it prepared me not only for my role as President, but locally where I work, as well.  The skills I learned in Leadership Academy will last a lifetime.”
