PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

2009 SAR President - Charlene Singley

2009 SAR President - Charlene Singley

They say time flies, and boy, does it! This year has gone so very quickly, and quite successfully too, I might add. The credit for any success has to be given to the nearly 200 individuals who volunteered during the year in so many ways.

When I asked how many individual people serve in one or more capacities, I was astounded when I was told it is nearly 200 people. And, in most cases, they don’t serve on only one committee. The generosity of spirit and time is truly inspiring.

First of all, I am the first to acknowledge that nothing in this association gets done without the absolute best staff in the entire state! The reason I always praise Nelson Janes at meetings is just because he does such an excellent job. He is the reason SAR maintains an even keel year after year. His leadership enables the association to hire and maintain such a high-quality staff. Each and every one works tirelessly on your behalf and I appreciate so very much everything they do for all of us.

The Education Committee stepped up the pace this year with many classes covering the hot button issues. The new Lunch & Learn classes have been extremely successful. Jeff Jurach and Denise Ross-Francom, the Chair and Vice-chair, and their committee members have done an excellent job.

SAR Has a New Strategic Plan

Carefully considered plans are taking shape for SAR in 2010 and beyond.

SAR volunteers gave two days to the Association for a Strategic Planning retreat in late June facilitated by Gar Anderson, NAR’s Vice President for Leadership Development.

Prior to the retreat, the SAR Staff took a day to review the existing plan, noting that all of its goals had been accomplished. They then made recommendations going forward, which were sent to Anderson for his consideration.

The plan features prioritized goals for the Association, with the purpose of providing the programs and services that will keep Members ahead of their industry.
