Betsy Kirkpatrick & Shane Raby
Betsy Kirkpatrick has 11+ years’ experience as a multifamily professional. She has risen through the ranks of the apartment industry, beginning her multifamily career as a property manager and then regional trainer with well-known property management companies. Prior to becoming the Managing Director of Strategic Programs for BG Multifamily, Betsy served as a Director of Sales in the Charlotte area, a Regional Sales Manager for multiple markets nationwide with BG and Strategic Accounts Executive.
Betsy is passionate about the multifamily industry, loves participating in apartment industry associations and she works to advocate for the industry and recruit new talent to Multifamily daily. Personally, Betsy has two beautiful daughters, will burst into song at any given moment and is affectionately known as the “ Shenaniganator”.
Shane Raby landed in multi-family in 2015 after twenty years as a retail executive for Macy’s and Tommy Hilfiger. Since joining the industry, Shane has been very active as a volunteer with different Apartment Associations, serving on the Board of Directors, on the NextGen, Annual Bus Tour, and DE&I Committees, on the Education Advisory Council (EAC), as Treasurer on the Education Foundation Board of Directors, and as a volunteer instructor. Shane is originally from Portsmouth, Virginia, and relocated to North Carolina in 2002. As a self-proclaimed foodie, you’ll often find him crisscrossing the city in search of the best craft beer, craft cocktails, and craft coffee. He enjoys running, going to the movies, time with family and friends, and embarrassing his teenage daughter. Shane serves as the AANC NextGen Chair and will complete NAA's Leadership Lyceum in 2023. Shane was also recognized by his former company for his dedication and performance as Manager of the Year. He looks forward to continuing to share his passion for multi-family and industry education, and to making a lasting impact on our future leaders.
