In a statement, Wall said he was “genuinely honoured” to assume the role and emphasized the need for purposeful leadership in a changing real estate landscape.
“Community service has always been one of the driving forces in my life,” he said. “I believe in the value of a local REALTOR®, in professionalism, in advocating for consumers, and in strong, transparent governance.”
Wall noted that collaboration will be a key focus of his term, particularly with other professional associations and nonprofit organizations.
He said he hopes to strengthen BRREA’s ties across the community while supporting policies that reinforce ethical practice and public trust.
The 2026 Board of Directors includes: Joshua Wall (Chair), Jason Tangorra (Past Chair), Vanessa Conte, Courtney Dorion, Karen Hobbs-Thomson, Michael Lefebvre, Allison Marry, Brandi Myers and Steve Spaulding (Directors).
