The Greater Lewisville Association of Realtors (GLAR) marked its annual Installation and Awards Luncheon on Thursday at Sparrow on Main in Old Town Lewisville, celebrating the accomplishments of its members and ushering in new leadership for 2025.
The 2025 GLAR Board of Directors includes:
Eyad Salloum – President
Brent Myers – President Elect
Kavita Gupta – Secretary/Treasurer
Justus Carlile – Past President
Board members: Pamela Shelton, Jack Mallouf, Nicole Van Zandt, Brian Fiorenza, Charlotte Wilcox, and Stephen Allcorn.
Incoming GLAR President Eyad Salloum was born in Damascus, Syria, and immigrated to the United States in 1981 after finishing high school. He attended Georgia State University in Atlanta, where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hotel Management. His career began in the hospitality industry, managing Hilton and DoubleTree hotel. Salloum eventually moved to Dallas in 1992 to work for American Airlines as an IT Project Manager.
“While I enjoyed my work in corporate America, I discovered a deep passion for real estate. I earned my real estate license in 2003 and soon realized that I didn’t want to pursue real estate part-time while continuing at American Airlines. So, when the company offered severance packages, I took a leap of faith, resigned, and dedicated myself entirely to real estate—a decision that shaped my life in profound ways,” Salloum told the attendees.
The luncheon also served as an opportunity to honor members for their contributions to the real estate industry and the community. The awards presented were:
Sue Weiscamp Meritorious Service Award: Donna Robichaux
Affiliate of the Year: Chase Pierson
Realtor of the Year: Jack Mallouf
Lifetime Achievement Award: Brooke Hunt
“We are incredibly proud to honor the achievements of these outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to our community and industry,” said Salloum. “We look forward to another year of leadership, growth, and collaboration in 2025.”
