The new AIR president is a 14-year veteran of the industry and has been active in South Bay real estate since 1988, the year he joined the AIR. Since then he has chaired a number of the organization's committees, and he was instrumental in the design and implementation of AIR's first Internet-based multiple listing system. He has repeatedly been a top producer at Daum.

AIR is a non-profit corporation formed in l960 to foster integrity and efficiency in industrial and commercial real estate brokerage. Among its programs and services are a number of forms for use in industrial and commercial real estate, as well as the multiple listing service.

Smith of Cushman & Wakefield of California Inc. in Long Beach, president-elect; Becky Blair of Blair Commercial in Long Beach, vice president; I.
