FirstPathway Partners' CEO and Chairman, Bob Kraft, accepted his reelection as IIUSA President for the fifth consecutive year, and returns to the board to serve for the 2021-2022 term.
Mr. Kraft's leadership of IIUSA has led the EB-5 Regional Center Program on a positive trajectory toward bipartisan, bicameral legislation, a historic first in its reform and long-term reauthorization. As an active member of the IIUSA organization since 2008, Kraft has worked tirelessly through advocacy among his extensive congressional network, publication in the media, and furthering public education of EB-5's contributions to the United States economy.
“It is an honor to serve as President of the organization. We have done outstanding work and I would like to thank the Board of Directors, my fellow officers, the executive management team of IIUSA, our membership, and especially our leadership group who has contributed financially to help us move legislation forward. We are on the cusp of a historic moment for the industry; we have a House bill and a Senate bill soon to be voted on which will extend the program for five years and introduce changes that will benefit Regional Center operators and practitioners, and most importantly protect our investors. I am looking forward to finishing legislation off and continuing to provide whatever support I can to put this industry in a place it has never been before.”
Kraft has earned praise locally for driving economic growth and job creation through the EB-5 Program in the State of Wisconsin. His company, FirstPathway Partners, has brought clients through the entire lifecycle of the EB-5 immigration process on multiple projects earning support from politicians both locally and nationally. He has been featured on television, radio, in newspapers locally and internationally for his work in the EB-5 industry.
Kraft is both humbled and eager to lead IIUSA for a fifth consecutive term. He is grateful for the engagement of IIUSA members and extends his congratulations on the reelection of his incumbents, Vice President, William Gresser, and Secretary-Treasurer, Stephen Strnisha.
“IIUSA is the largest advocacy group representing the EB-5 industry in the world, in fact, we represent 95% of all Regional Center operators in the United States. We represent 95% of the capital raised for the program since its inception,” says Kraft.
