NAR Committee Leadership Training

Wow, it's cold in Chicago in February; so what was I doing there instead of in sunny Florida? Attending the annual NAR Committee Leadership Training for a day and half, that's what. Cathy Whatley was among the presenters going over the intricasies of the NAR governance. Others in attendance from Florida included Tony Macaluso, Maggie Morris, Mike Owen, Judy Schomaker, Moe Veissi and Tom Salamone. Chairs and Vice-chairs from across the country met to plan their year and to see how that plan advances the NAR Strategic Plan. This is also the perfect networking opportunity and to meet NAR staff such as Russell Riggs, the "Master of Disaster Insurance" who is working hard to make a National Disaster Insurance plan a reality. My only suggestion is to have the training next year somewhere where it's a few degrees warmer!
