As Greater Boston Region VP to the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS®, I am proud to represent you on the MAR Executive Committee and Board of Directors. This role, and previous positions I have served in local REALTOR® leadership, has allowed me to learn about our industry, have a voice in organizational decisions, and network with fellow REALTORS® at programs like this year’s New England REALTOR® Conference. I can tell you from first-hand experience, you get much more than you give when you become involved, whether it’s as a volunteer leader, committee member, or participant at education and networking sessions. To truly benefit from membership, and be a voice for real estate, I encourage you to attend REALTOR® Day on Beacon Hill on June 4 and MAR’s Convention & Trade Show set for September 19-20 in Providence, R.I. Additionally, we’re looking for new faces to serve in leadership, so if you’re interested in becoming a GBAR officer or director; GBREB, MAR or NAR director; or want to succeed me as MAR RVP in 2013, download our nomination packet and submit a candidate application by the required deadline.
