NVAR Takes Our Diverse Community Further

This year’s NVAR Convention and Trade Show marks my one-year anniversary as CEO of your association. The theme selected by our Convention Task Force – Generation Realtor® – dovetails with my outlook for our future. A new generation of leadership offers vision through a different lens. This past year of working with your forward-thinking volunteer leaders and NVAR staff has brought that vision, guided by our Strategic Plan, into sharper focus.

This year, we have made great strides in Advocacy and Government Relations; Professionalism and Education; Technological and Digital Relevance; Community Outreach and Public Relations; and Strategic Leadership. On page 10, take a look at the infographic of some of our 2016 strategic accomplishments. And there is more to come!

Our Core Philosophies, as outlined in our Strategic Plan, speak to the rich diversity of our membership. This diversity refers not only to our cultural mix, but also to the generations that you represent. From “The Greatest Generation” to Boomers to Gen-X, Millennials and Gen-Z, our members bring varied experiences and sensibilities to the transaction table for clients and to the whole industry. 

I look forward to celebrating my first anniversary with you on October 11 at Northern Virginia Community College - Annandale. The insert in this issue has Convention details you’ll want to know. Whether you have been a Realtor® for 40 years or four months, you are Generation Realtor®! Please join us at the Convention and share your unique Realtor® perspective with all of us. See you there!
