SPRINGFIELD (April 4, 2011) Behind every successful REALTOR® is a sense of community. The more you know about your community and become involved the more successful you are likely to be. Recognizing this, in 2010 the Capital Area Association of REALTORS® established a leadership development program known as the CAAR Leadership Academy. CAAR President Terry Nuding, ABR, CRS, GRI said that this unique educational opportunity is not only about making better REALTORS®, it is also about building our community and becoming successful leaders throughout life!
The Leadership Program, which began in December 0f 2010 and concluded in February of 2011 consisted of four half-day modules covering topic areas such as: Governmental Affairs & Advocacy; Public Speaking & Communications; Leadership Development; and, Association Governance & Management. “From the Leadership Training Academy participants can learn about their own unique management style, gain a deeper understanding of the REALTOR® organization at all levels, develop a network of contacts, and gain valuable skills and information that can be applied in their own businesses,” said Mike Buscher, GRI, Chairman of the CAAR Leadership Work Group.
