I extend my personal invitation for you to get involved. Come to meetings at your local association and here at 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人®.
You might assume I set my sights on a leadership position in our association many, many years ago. After all, how else do you become chairman? 但这不是我的故事. 当我还是新会员的时候, I gave little thought to who was leading our local and state associations, 那些人从中得到了什么, 或者我怎么能加入他们的行列. Instead, I was focused on learning the business and gaining more clients.
我是怎么到这里的? My path looks like many other association leaders’ journeys: While attending an event at my local association, a more experienced REALTOR® pulled me aside and said, “I think you should come to a 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® Conference.于是我就跟着走了.
I saw firsthand how our association is driven by volunteer members. I witnessed their passion and commitment to supporting REALTORS® in our businesses. I saw how members came together to discuss ideas that would shape the MLS, 专业标准, 商业行为, 不动产法律.
I attended more meetings and legislative visits and soon volunteered to serve on a committee. 然后另一个. 等等.......
The more involved I got, the more I personally benefited. 我学到了很多2021十大正规彩票app行业的知识. I have made many new business contacts—people I can ask for advice and learn from their experiences. Volunteering in the REALTOR® organization has been one of the best moves in my career.
Just as I once was asked to participate, I now extend my personal invitation for you to get involved. Come to meetings at your local association and here at 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人®. (I hope to see you in Fort Worth in September at this year’s 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® conference.) I also encourage you to volunteer for a committee assignment. Signups for 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® committees open at the end of April. Local association committee signups usually happen toward the end of the calendar year. We should all give back to our profession by volunteering to serve.
If you’re already involved, I have a special request: Ask another REALTOR® to participate with you. 在一起, we will share this journey of personal growth and professional success, all while making our association the strongest it can be!
