Here’s what you can expect at the first REALTOR leadership event of the year…

Keys for Building an Effective Partnership

Doug will focus on the importance of partnerships in getting things done in an organization, including insights on volunteer/staff relations, communication styles, effective time management, and demonstrating the value of the association to the membership. Attendees will come away with valuable keys to success in program development and moving their REALTOR organization forward.
