I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of
you for the privilege of serving as your State
President.
It’s been a year of challenges and rewards,
joys and sorrows, work and enjoyment to be sure.

As we are so fond of saying lately: many
hands make small work. And that is certainly true
in Realtor® business.
When the phone rings or the email comes
to answer it. This organization is as strong as the
effort each and every one of you put into it. If you
want to see a change in anything the leaders do
“This organization is as
strong as the effort each and
every one of you put into it”.
