offered something for everyone. No<br />
member of the Board of Directors or our<br />
committees receives compensation for<br />
the many hours of hard work that it takes<br />
to prepare and put together a conference<br />
of this magnitude. REOMAC® is here to<br />
offer networking and education. We resent<br />
the perception that this conference is for<br />
anything other than to bring together<br />
industry professionals to network and<br />
learn from the brightest and best. We<br />
want to inspire you and offer you the<br />
experience and friendship of others doing<br />
the same type of work that you do. Any<br />
pre-conference or post conference events<br />
that are not presented by REOMAC®, are<br />
not sponsored or endorsed by REOMAC®.<br />
Should you throw an event or attend one<br />
of these unauthorized events, you should<br />
conduct yourselves in a professional<br />
manner. What you do during the time of<br />
this or any other conference is a reflection<br />
on those of us that attend these conferences<br />
to gain information and knowledge. The<br />
country is in a crisis. Millions of people<br />
are losing their jobs and their homes. We<br />
try to offer assistance to make it an easier<br />
transition for those that have to move<br />
out due to foreclosure. Please be more<br />
cognizant of the perception of those that<br />
do not know how hard you all work to do<br />
your jobs in the most ethical and honest<br />
way that it can be done.<br />
I am so honored and proud to be<br />
REOMAC®’s President this year. I have<br />
met the most incredible, hard working<br />
and kind people through my association<br />
with REOMAC®. I cannot and will not<br />
tolerate the bad press or misinformation<br />
that has circled around this industry and<br />
our conferences. I promise to do whatever<br />
I can to insure that we are perceived as<br />
professionals, now do your part.<br />
Our attitude toward<br />
life determines life’s<br />
attitude towards us.<br />

Can I take any certification courses<br />
offered at the Fall <strong>Conference</strong> without<br />
attending the conference itself?<br />
No. The certification courses offered<br />
are in conjunction with the conference,<br />
for which you must be registered.<br />
What exactly is a conference guest<br />
registration?<br />
A guest registration is for a spouse<br />
or significant other of an attendee.<br />
Guests are only permitted to the<br />
social functions (i.e., the exhibit hall,<br />
the Gala Dinner, and the continental<br />
meals provided) and are not able to<br />
book a separate hotel room from<br />
the primary attendee of whom the<br />
individual is a guest or attend any of<br />
the educational sessions.<br />
Finally, if I may be of any service to<br />
you, please contact me or any of us<br />
at Headquarters. Thank you for your<br />
continued support of REOMAC®.<br />
