As I write this I am still in Florida enjoying<br />
my grandkids after the NAR Convention<br />
in Orlando. This year’s convention was<br />
great. Lots <strong>of</strong> classes and, <strong>of</strong> course, the business<br />
<strong>of</strong> running the organization. One <strong>of</strong> the highlights<br />
from those meetings; is that CRS is international<br />
and you can send and receive referrals to a CRS<br />
in many countries like Brazil, South Africa, Spain,<br />
France and Australia to name a few. While many<br />
trade magazines are going internet, “The Residen-<br />

<br />
can get your CRS Designation with 2 core course<br />
credits and 150 transactions or $1 Million per year<br />
average production with at least 40 transactions.<br />
The CRS 210 Sales course was quite a success.<br />

Frank Serio did a great job and we gained some<br />
new members.<br />
At our annual membership meeting we<br />
elected the 2009 slate <strong>of</strong> board members: Lisa<br />
Conner as President and she will serve as President<br />
elect for 2010 also, Connie Heyworth, Vice<br />
<br />
ratt, Treasurer; Denny Wood, Past President; and<br />

<br />
rie Duffy, and Angie Newby. Please congratulate<br />
these folks and if you ever have a question about<br />
CRS, look one <strong>of</strong> us up.<br />
As I end my term serving as your president<br />
I can only think <strong>of</strong> what an honor it has been<br />
to serve you and to work with such a wonderful<br />
board. Our sponsors have been solid supporters<br />
and we can never thank them too much. Please<br />
support them with your business. Lisa Conner<br />
will be a super president; she has amazing<br />
energy and is such a can-do person with many<br />
new ideas. The <strong>Alaska</strong> CRS Chapter is in very<br />
capable hands. I want to wish Lisa and the 2009<br />
board <strong>of</strong> directors a very successful year.<br />
If you are working on your CRS designation,<br />
keep going, it is well worth it. Those who<br />
have earned their CRS designation, congratulations<br />
and I encourage you to bring someone with<br />
you into the fold and continue to enhance our<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism. Get involved in your chapter<br />
and make it even better than it is.<br />
