NEW YORK CITY—Carl Hum will join the Real Estate Board of New York next month as SVP for management services and government affairs. He will be a principal member of REBNY's senior staff serving as the lead advocate on a broad portfolio of policy issues, including construction, building codes and regulations, building management, sustainability and energy policy, and federal policy.

Hum joins REBNY from Asian Americans Advancing Justice in Washington, DC, where he served as VP of policy and programs. In his new role, he will work with REBNY members, government officials and other stakeholders to promote policies that will expand New York City's economy, encourage the development and renovation of commercial and residential real property, enhance the city's appeal to investors and residents, and facilitate property management.

“Carl will be an outstanding asset to REBNY and our members,” says John H. Banks, III, REBNY president. “He brings great experience and a proven track record of managing and completing complex projects through consensus building, strategic communications and savvy, innovative problem-solving.”
