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.

2009 Fall Conference Highlight: It's Easy Being Green

Jim Casey, owner of Jim Casey Seminars and Consulting, is a Minnesota native recently transplanted in California. In addition to a degree in architecture, over 20 years of real estate experience and international speaking engagements, Jim also possesses a desire to work, play and live green. His recent “It’s Easy Being Green” breakout session at the 2009 Fall Conference gave REALTORS® ideas how to incorporate the “green lifestyle” into their work, recreation and day-to-day lives. The main reasons that people are motivated to make changes in their lives are 1) opportunity to gain and 2) fear of loss. One or both of these may be a factor contributing to recent changes you might have made.

The Fall Conference is Coming!

2009 Fall Conference Logo
Get energized with our exciting lineup of guest speakers, vendors, educational sessions, and special features at SAR’s 2009 Fall Conference & EXPO (previously known as the Tech Expo).

For those of you who have attended the “Tech Expo” in the past, you will notice that this year things will be a little different… instead of focusing solely on technology we are adding a couple subject tracks to provide you with a little more content and education that you can use daily, both personally and professionally.
