MAR Past Presidents Advisory

You're not looking at a picture of the MAR Past Presidents as pictures taken are trapped in the MAR digital camera .... which doesn't have a generic memory card.

Each year the MAR Past Presidents are convened to advise the MAR President and CEO about current and emerging issues, and to provide advice as requested. Among other topics, discussed E&O insurance, materials to use with public about market conditions, short sale confusion, and ways to improve two-way communications with the membership.

Participating: Sharon Millett, Don Newell, Ed Getty, Pat Plummer, Kim Coit, Sherry Gregory, Don Plourde, Sam Mitchell, Gail Rizzo

What's changed in the last 14 months?

It wasn't difficult to make the list of changes experienced in the real estate industry and our firms/members in the last 14 months; when MAR's 2007-2008 Strategic Plan was developed. Today the MAR Strategic Planning Committee tackled what MAR's response should be to industry changes and recommended revisions and additions to the Plan. Focus Areas include: Legal/Regulatory/ Governmental, Professionalism and Communications, Industry Concerns, Market Forces and Technology. Many great ideas that now make their way to the MAR Board of Directors for consideration.
