PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 2 0 1 8 PRESIDENT
BECKY CHIRILLO
Hello, and welcome to a new year! A new year with new hopes, new goals, new challenges, and new SUCCESSES! As we think back on 2017, there were many accomplishments throughout the year. A big thank you to our 2017 President, Wanda Linscott, and to all of the 2017 OSCAR Board of Directors for the many hours of dedicated service to our association! As we look ahead at the 2018 year, I would like to encourage each of you to think about all of the “Give and Take” opportunities provided by your association. First, lets consider the “give”. Your association is just that, YOUR association! The ideas, the platforms, the education, the bylaws, the leadership, the community involvement, the political actions, all of these come from you, the member! When you take the time, and make the commitment, you “give” of yourself to shape and form an association that works to benefit the entire membership. OSCAR we have committees pertaining to all of the topics above, and more! I encourage you to take a look. Find something you feel is a good fit and get plugged in, and “give” it your best! There are many opportunities for you to make a difference. Next, lets take a look at the “Take”. With your annual OSCAR membership dues you become a part of the largest professional association in America, the National Association of REALTORS®! Along with your membership comes a plethora of benefits for you to “take” advantage of. Here are just a few…
• Education - The potential for at least 90 credit hours of FREE education towards designations and certification courses. • Realtors Federal Credit Union - Great rates, low fees, and access to in depth financial education resources and money management solutions. • Point 2 Agent - Complimentary webinars with valuable insight on how to drive more traffic to your website listings, gain more exposure, and increase your leads. • Legal Hotline - The REALTORS® Hotline is a FREE benefit to all members. • Affiliate Partners - An assortment of local businesses whose support and partnerships in our association provides opportunities for a greater understanding of the products and services offered. • Global Alliance Committee - As a member of this award winning committee you will find opportunities for exposure within the international arena and opportunities to be a part of an international network that will generate business and contacts. These are just a few of the many benefits available for your “taking” to streamline and enhance your REALTOR® experience. The sky is the limit as we forge our way into the new year. I am very much looking forward to serving as your 2018 President, and working with you to achieve great success! So, “give” all you’ve got, and “take” all you can to benefit both your business AND your Association. With your own personal “give” and “take”, “there ain’t no stopping us now!” - Be blessed.
