I feel honored and privileged to serve as your 2012 President.  For the past two years, I have worked closely with President Jody Korman and your leadership to create the more and more value for our members.  Our 2012 National President, Mark Minchew, has a theme for 2012,  “Surge CRS”, which we will be taking to our local level.  We are poised to offer more local and statewide events and activities for you and three really great courses by national instructors Jackie Leavenworth, Mike Selvaggio, and Gee Dunstan.

I am very excited to be working with an outstanding leadership team that is committed to making things happen on a local basis and strengthening our state chapter awareness and value to you.  I want you to feel like the $40 dues you pay to our chapter is well worth the investment. Please always feel free to contact me personally with your ideas and thoughts for how we can be of better service to you! 

CRS provides many benefits for you, but you must use them to receive the best value for the investment you have made.  I hope to see you at the VAR Legislative Conference CRS member luncheon in Richmond on Feb 16^th and at the Virginia CRS Sell-a-Bration in Charlottesville on March 7^th.  These are our statewide chapter events for the first quarter and there will be many more to follow.  Please see the calendar on our web-site for details!

Thank you for your commitment to CRS and the real estate industry.  Earning the designation is only the beginning of your journey into increased state and nationwide networking, referrals, and the best educational courses offered in the industry.  I look forward to taking this journey together!
