Knowledge, Tools & Opportunities That Help You Negotiate A Complex Industry

With fall approaching, it’s time to think about NVAR’s premier annual event – our Oct. 14 Convention & Trade Show. This year our Convention Task Force, led by Long & Foster’s Lorraine Arora, is developing excellent programming to help you:  Connect, Collaborate, Close. Read all about it in the Convention pull-out section in the center of this magazine!

This year’s theme is a good representation of what an NVAR membership offers you:
• The opportunity to connect with others at our committees, forums and events
• The ability to collaborate on projects and association management
• The knowledge to attract, retain and assist clients in their ultimate goal – to close that next transaction.
On page 12, you can read about 10 of your colleagues who have been highly engaged in our association, and seek to take that to the next level. They want to represent you on the 2015 NVAR Board of Directors. Please study their bios.

Results of the Board election will be announced at the Convention’s closing session. You won’t want to miss it – plus a dynamic closing speaker, valuable prize drawings and a networking happy hour on the trade show floor! I hope to see you at the Northern Virginia Community College for this annual highlight on October 14. Come early, stay late or for as long as you want.
There is no cost to attend our Annual Convention & Trade Show. We do ask that you bring a bag of groceries for UCM, or a make a suggested donation of $25. Giving back to the community is a core NVAR value, one that we hope is shared by you, too.
As you read the pages of RE+VIEW, I hope you appreciate the excellent analysis, recognition and information contained here. If you have not already renewed your membership for 2015, please visit nvardues.com today to keep your NVAR member benefits active, including delivery of RE+VIEW magazine.

See you on October 14!
