A Kelowna real estate professional will lead the region’s largest industry group after being elected president of the Association of Interior REALTORS®.
Ryan Mayne, a Kelowna-based REALTOR®, has been chosen to head the association, which represents about 2,600 members across the Interior.
Mayne will lead a board of directors made up of industry professionals and a public director. He succeeds Kadin Rainville, who will continue to serve as past president.
“It’s an honour to step into this role and represent our members across the Interior,” said Mayne.
“Our industry is evolving quickly, and I’m committed to ensuring REALTORS® are supported with the tools, advocacy, and leadership needed to navigate a changing market while continuing to deliver value to the public.”
Mayne’s experience is rooted in the Central Okanagan, where he has worked in residential development, project marketing and market analytics. His family has been active in Kelowna’s real estate community since 1972.
“My focus is simple — support our members, strengthen professionalism, and ensure we continue to build trust with the communities we serve,” Mayne said. “There’s a real opportunity ahead for our association to lead through collaboration, innovation, and strong governance.”
He has previously served as the association’s vice-president and contributed to initiatives tied to member engagement and industry standards.
Gavin Thomas will take over as vice-president.
Other directors include Tracy Danbrook, Ken Davreux, Amy Essington, Chantal Kowalski, Kristie Kruger, Lindsay Kellosalmi, Lorene MacGregor and Lisa Moonie, along with public director Ben Calderisi.
The board took office April 10 and supports REALTORS® across Interior B.C., including the growing Kelowna market.
