Wahby named to Forbes list
Robin Wahby from the Jacksonville New York Life has been listed on the 2024 Forbes Top Financial Security Professionals Best-in-State list. The individuals named to this list of distinguished professionals were chosen based on many criteria considered by an independent research firm.
A New York Life agent for more than 30 years, Wahby received this recognition for helping her clients in a world in which wealth preservation and protection matter more than ever.
“We are honored that Robin appears on this prestigious list,” said Bill Grub, managing partner of the Jacksonville general office. “New York Life has known for quite some time what a valuable asset Robin has been to our family and to many families and businesses in our community.”
Wahby, founder and CEO of Wahby Financial Group, helps families and businesses identify opportunities that increase their financial position and enjoy a better quality of life. As a fiduciary in her investment advisory work, Robin is a financial adviser who believes that the one thing everyone has in common is the desire for financial security.
Ability Housing adds new positions
Ability Housing has announced the expansion of its real estate team through the creation of two new positions. Debra Grise has been appointed the organization’s real estate development director and will lead all real estate development efforts; Jeremy Smith has been promoted to the new director of asset management role and will ensure the ongoing mission-aligned operations of the rental portfolio.
This expansion positions Ability Housing to achieve its goal of developing more than 2,200 units of affordable housing across Florida by 2030 while simultaneously maintaining its portfolio of properties at the highest level.
These new appointments, coupled with the recent launch of the nonprofit’s Affordable Housing Fund, demonstrate progress toward a critical goal outlined in the organization’s current strategic plan: to elevate the organization’s workforce and operational capacity for optimal performance.
“It’s important for us to have experts throughout our team who not only understand the scope of work their roles entail, but who also truly understand and believe in our mission,” said Shannon Nazworth, president and CEO of Ability Housing. “With Debra and Jeremy’s leadership, we are even more equipped to address Florida’s housing needs as quickly as we can in a strategic manner. Building new communities and preserving the quality of the ones we already have are equally important to this goal. I am grateful they have chosen to support our mission in building flourishing communities where everyone has a home.”
