Donna and I recently returned from our Annual Chapter Leadership training in Chandler, AZ. The training is for Pres. and Pres.- elects for the next year. I can’t tell you how great it is to be surrounded by these amazing REALTORS® from all over the United States. There were around 100 there and it was a fabulous 3 days learning Cyndy Brown more about CRS and the inner workings, networking with top notch agents, getting to spend time with our Pres and Pres-elect for the Council. It’s such a privilege to be a part of such an amazing group of people. The theme for this year was “The Next Reality”. We spent the first day with Brian Copeland – one of our leading national seminar speaker/trainers – top 1% of all agents in the Nashville area. He gave us everything we wanted to know and more about social networking. He is a lot of fun – even had a panel that our own Donna Clark was on that portrayed the “Match Game” – they were cutting edge in their ‘70’s outfits! Rachel Tristano is our Director of Chapter and Regional Programs, Certified Residential Specialists. She spent the next day with us on the “Nuts and Bolts” of CRS Chapters – very, very informative – she is our backbone at the Council and always available to help us in any way she can. Frank Serio – my twin (we were born same day, same year – different mothers!) from Delaware - our incoming Council Pres. gave us a lot of great information to bring home and use in our Chapters as well as our businesses. I really encourage you to get involved in leadership – it will grow your knowledge as you network with the top 25% in the business AND grow your business as you meet these incredible people and get referrals from them as well as have them to refer to.
