Some 200 Members of both the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Sacramento Association of REALTORS® enjoyed a mixer at the SAR office on December 9. The mixer was organized by SAR’s Equal Opportunities Committee.
To help the Hispanic Chamber Members learn more about what SAR has to offer them, volunteers shared information on: Scholarship, CanTree, H.E.L.P. and other down payment assistance programs, Young Professionals Council, Leadership Development, and why they should always use a REALTOR®.

 Erin Attardi Did you attend the YPC CanTree Fundraiser – Dancing Through the Decades? If not, you missed a fantastic event! Aside from enjoying great wines with tastings offered by Carvalho Family Winery, Revolution Wines, and Ehrhardt Estates; delicious food provided by BJ’s Brewery, Tokyo Fro’s, and Zocalo; dance music mixed by our very own DJ Rico Rivera; and a silent auction with items provided by numerous local donors, everyone had a great time…AND we raised over $4,000 for the Christmas CanTree!
On another note – It’s official! Recently our Young Professionals Council received word that it has been officially recognized by the National Association of REALTORS® as the Sacramento Chapter of its Young Professionals Network. I have had the chance to meet the leadership of other NAR YPN chapters at various events this year, and there are going to be some fantastic offerings from YPN in the time to come.
Reflecting on 2009, I am extremely proud of what our Young Professionals Council has accomplished! We have raised thousands of dollars for charitable causes, and have given REALTORS® and Affiliates a forum to network and exchange ideas. Did you know that we have been able to engage hundreds of SAR members at our forums and events? I am very much looking forward to being your YPC Chair in 2010 and I know that Nikki Chapman is also looking forward to being YPC Vice-Chair.

 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.

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.

When I speak to most REALTORS® and Affiliates about participating in a Young Professionals Council event, most tell me, “Oh, I am too old to attend.” Not true!
While the Young Professionals Council Steering Committee members must be in their 20s and 30s, there really is something for everyone at all of our events – and we do not check your ID at the door. All SAR Members are welcome to attend any of our events. We learn a lot, network with other professionals, and we have FUN, too. Our monthly forums are educational in nature and past topics have included Going Green, Marketing Tools, Social Networking, Today’s Loan Programs and more.
