The Opportunities and Benefits of Volunteering at CAR FROM THE CEO
Tyrone Adams CEO of the Colorado Association of REALTORS®
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year in Colorado. It represents so many things, like three straight months of holiday celebrations. It’s a time of the year when people seem to be genuinely more caring and loving towards one another. And, of course, we enjoy the leaves with their changing colors in so many variations. For the Colorado Association of REALTORS® this time of year represents the changing of the guard for leadership on December 1st and opportunities for members to get involved at their state Association. “Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.” -Erma Bombeck, American humorist and bestseller author I love this quote because the same can be said about REALTOR® Associations. Our volunteers are the catalyst for the Colorado Association of REALTORS® being an effective organization for its members and local associations.
“Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.”
We have plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in areas of your passion! Participating on a committee provides you with the opportunity to test and expand your leadership skills as well as increase your professional contacts. Just ask some of your colleagues who volunteer or think about your own experiences of being a volunteer.
