Michael Kent

Communications & Marketing Director

As the Communications and Marketing Director, I oversee all the messaging and the manner in which it's delivered to our members. This includes managing our weekly newsletter, social media presence, the members-only Facebook group, and our MLS Talk listserv. With a background in visual arts, design, photography, and videography, I also help to develop original graphics, advertisements, and photo and video content. If you're at one of our many events and see someone walking around with a camera, that's me! As the unofficial tech guru of the office, I also work with staff to research and implement new technology and/or processes to better serve our members and reach them where they live.
