You’re Invited to the F.R.E.S.H. Summit

As the current health crisis continues into the fall months, New Jersey Realtors® made the difficult decision to cancel all upcoming in-person events such as Trenton Day, Realtor® -palooza, and the Women’s Conference. All of these events provide valuable education and networking opportunities and we are so disappointed that we cannot be together with our New Jersey Realtor® family.

In lieu of having these in-person events, I would like to invite you to a new, virtual event—the F.R.E.S.H. Summit: Free Realtor® Education Starts Here. It will be a month of virtual conferences, classes, and meetings—and you are all invited!

Throughout the month of October, virtual education sessions will be available for all members, with new events each and every week. The schedule is subject to change, but visit fresh.njrealtor.com for the most up-to-date information and details on registration. You’ll be able to earn continuing education credits, hear from elected officials, and talk with like-minded individuals about your business. It’s free and it’s for you.

Some highlights: Earn up to 5 continuing education credits in the sessions (including core, elective, and fair housing)

Hear from New Jersey Realtors ® Legal Counsel Barry Goodman, Esq. and representatives from the NJ Division on Civil Rights on how to comply with the Fair Housing Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination Learn from your leadership with an update on state issues and have your voice heard during the question-and-answer segment.

Oct. 8 will be dedicated to New Jersey Women: That’s Who We R, presented by New Jersey Realtors® and the Women’s Council of Realtors® —New Jersey.

Going virtual for so many events has been hard on every industry and while we recognize that it may not be a first choice, we prioritize the health and safety of our membership and do not wish to contribute to the spread of the pandemic.

So join us for a month of free learning with your peers and colleagues, we are excited to serve you with this content. For more information visit fresh.njrealtor.com.
