Kelley Team Members Accepted into LGLR Classes XXVI and XXXVII

Yesterday at an event in the River Market Pavilion sponsored by Central Arkansas Water, the Little Rock Chamber formally announced the members accepted into the 2021-2022 Leadership Greater Little Rock Classes XXXVI and XXXVII. Kelley Commercial Partners is proud to have one associate in each class. Eric Varner joins Class XXXVI and Brandon Sheard will be a member of Class XXXVII. Although members of Class XXXVI were accepted in 2020, the program was postponed due to the pandemic.

Partner and property manager, Eric Varner, joined Kelley Commercial in 2013 and manages premier medical buildings, office buildings, and retail centers representing major health care providers, national banking institutions, international investment firms, local physicians, and several individual investors. He coordinates overall management, leasing activities, construction management, and financial oversight for his portfolio which consists of more than 2.4 million square feet.

Brandon Sheard has been an agent with the firm since 2019. Having worked in a variety of roles and industries, Brandon has acquired a diverse but complementary set of skills and experiences that enable him to bring perspective and innovation to clients. In a relatively short period of time, he has successfully completed transactions in both sales and leasing, representing owners, users, and investors. Brandon welcomes challenges and dedicates himself to exceeding clients’ needs and expectations.

Established in 1985, Leadership Greater Little Rock seeks to develop the skills of community leaders by training and informing participants of public policy opportunities and challenges. The nine-month program covers topics including government and politics, education, social services, and economic development. Participants meet each month at a different Central Arkansas venue to explore topics through tours, lectures, presentations, dialogue, and interaction.
