MCAR Presidents Report.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Hello MCAR Members and Affiliates

Congratulations to Lori Brady for her election to serve as the 2012 VP Elect for Association Operations for the Washington Association of Realtors. Lori has been a terrific representative from MCAR and we expect she will continue to do so.

If you missed the last General membership meeting that was held at the Leornard K’s Boat House in Allyn on May 21, you missed a good one. Attendance was exceptionally good and the reports provided from a variety of members were very informative.

As a substitute of a guest speaker, we heard from association members who attended the Spring conference. VP Traci Mclaughin, articulated her experience with “this year I went because I had to. The next conference I want to go”.

Those members who attended the Spring Conference expressed the value in participating. They gained knowledge of the how, the why and the significance of contributing at a State Association Conference. And I might add, although we are a small Association, we do have a very large impact at the State level

Naturally, the message here is “get involved with Your Local Association”. Begin by being present at our local committees, meetings and functions.
