To stay relevant in our evolving market, we must rely on the strength of our association. As your Chairman, I will always put your needs first.
My promise to you: I will listen to your concerns so that I can help NVAR continue to deliver the products and services you need to excel in your business. I may not make the best coffee, but the rest I can do. When I became a manager, a colleague advised, Take care of your agents, keep the coffee fresh, ensure supplies are available, but most importantly, have a ready ear. Brokers, be the leaders that your agents and consumers deserve! Not only is leadership an attitude, it is a CAN-DO attitude! Involvement with our association is a key component of ensuring industry excellence. If you re an agent, learn all that you can to become an ethical, respected businessperson who can mentor others. Whatever your current position in the real estate industry, take ownership of your responsibility to lead your colleagues in a positive direction. This gets to the heart of my goal as your Chairman this year.
Leadership is also inclusive: working as one to ensure the success of many. And as your Chairman, this is how we must work together to ensure the integrity of our industry. As a broker, this is how I guide my agents. As my parents told me, If you lose your wallet, you ve lost nothing if you lose your good name, you are done! As a leader, these principles hold true for me as an individual, and they are also significant traits for those whose careers I help to shape. Leadership is an attitude! As a young real estate agent, ethics, accessibility and fairness were my guideposts. I believe that these principles are the backbone of leadership. As I shared with those who attended my installation ceremony this past December, I was taught from an early age to set an example for my younger siblings, to speak my mind, and to take action if I saw something wrong. I am confident that together, we will accomplish great things in the months ahead.
