The first few months of 2016 have been busy for NVAR! As your new CEO, I have been engaged in the process of meeting with your staff, volunteers l and fellow NVAR members to support our Board of Directors as we determine a path forward that aligns with our strategic goals.

In the March/April issue of RE+VIEW, we included an outline of our NVAR Strategic Plan. Since that time, we have surveyed you, our members, to learn more about how we can achieve those goals and improve your member experience. We’re proud to report that NVAR has already accomplished a great deal in 2016 – and as we go to print, there are still almost three quarters of the year remaining! 

Our new Realtor®-Builder Series, launched to a packed house on April 13, provides an excellent opportunity for us to partner with other industry professionals to advance our common goals of providing great client service.

Community Outreach is a significant strategic initiative for NVAR. Our newly-formed NVAR Cares Committee has already forged a partnership with our local Boys and Girls Club, hosting a successful event at our Fairfax headquarters in March. We’ll be partnering with Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together Alexandria in the coming months, too. Keep an eye out for additional information on nvar.com and in your e-Newsletters.

And, we launched a new initiative – NVAR Global – to leverage the talent and knowledge found in the rich diversity of our membership and region, and to strengthen awareness of global real estate business opportunities here and abroad.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can in the months to come. Please keep in touch. Our NVAR team and I are eager to hear your ideas about what NVAR can do to Take You Further.
