National Albanian Registry team — an unpaid volunteer, like the whole board.
About Erold
Erold is from Erseka and has lived in Michigan since his teens. He has spent more than 20 years in financial services — he started at a bank in 2002, has been a licensed Financial Advisor since 2007, and works today as a senior wealth-management professional.
He serves on the board of the National Albanian Registry as a founding member.
His reason for doing this is Michigan itself. The state holds one of the largest Albanian communities in America, and he has watched it organize in parallel for decades — by church, by mosque, by hometown. Erold wants the community to be counted across those lines, not within them, so the kids growing up in Michigan inherit one Albanian identity instead of several smaller ones.
