Albert Perry is the Broker/Owner of Century 21 Advantage Gold and a respected leader in Pennsylvania real estate. With more than 30 years of front-line industry experience and over two decades of association leadership at the local, state, and national levels, Al bridges the gap between theory and practice in organizational leadership. He served as the 2023 President of the Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS®, following a five-year executive leadership arc that included roles as Treasurer, Vice President, President-Elect, and Immediate Past President. A two-time President of the Greater Philadelphia Association of REALTORS® (2005, 2009), Al is known for his collaborative style, clear communication, and ability to align volunteer leaders and staff around shared goals. As a Leadership Advancement Instructor with Dynamic Directions, Al works with associations across the country to strengthen leadership pipelines, clarify governance roles, and improve collaboration between elected volunteers and professional staff. He brings an engaging, candid, and often humorous approach to serious leadership topics, encouraging teams to have the real conversations that drive organizational growth and member impact. Al’s threefold leadership philosophy is simple but powerful: 1. Service over status. Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about showing up and doing the work that helps others succeed. 2. Clarity builds trust. The most effective teams know their roles, respect their lanes, and communicate openly. 3. Replace yourself tenfold. A true leader’s legacy is measured not by what they build alone, but by how many others they empower to lead. Expect every session with Al to be real, relevant, and actionable. His practical insights, storytelling, and straight-talk delivery help associations strengthen culture, build accountability, and raise the bar for leadership excellence, while having some fun in the process.
