The Mainstreet Organization of Realtors named John LeTourneau as its new president on Sept. 8. In addition to serving on the Mainstreet board of directors, LeTourneau is currently the commercial managing director at Keller Williams Realty Infinity in Naperville. Taking over for Linda Dressler, he will be the association’s 101st president.

In the role, LeTourneau looks forward to strengthening the organization both at home and across the globe. LeTourneau himself is a dual citizen of Ireland and looks forward to strengthening international relations among Realtors. “In the past few years, and especially during COVID, our world has rapidly gone from hyper local to hyper global,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Realtors working from hyper local to hyper global are at the heart of Mainstreet’s mission, vision, and values and represent a model for the future of real estate.”

LeTourneau’s predecessor Dressler, the immediate past president, looks forward to the transition. “We have complete confidence that John and his amazing leadership team will lead Mainstreet to places it has not been and will continue to make Mainstreet the pinnacle of excellence where everyone has a place to call home,” she said.

Mainstreet CEO John Gormley shares that sentiment. As Mainstreet celebrates its 100th anniversary, the organization has “bold new plans for continuing to evolve how we serve our members and our community,” Gormley wrote in a press release. “I look forward to working with John LeTourneau as we continue to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the real estate industry here in the Chicagoland area.”
