As a Director of the National Association of Realtors I a must attend all meetings regarding budget and policy issues.
Every mid-year meeting is held in Washington, DC and fortunately they have reserved a great room for me at the Omni Shoreham Hotel which is just across the street from the convention hall.
Many here are showing cautious optimism about the economy and market in general. Saturday is the big day where all the Directors will vote on all issues. It sometimes becomes a little intense as like with all organizations there are some that have opposing views on certain issues.
They also have a trade show where I finally me the designer on our Lucero system as well as other systems that can make our company more efficient and profitable.
As for food, we had a Board dinner at Morton's Steak House which I thought was not that good. So last night Cindy and I broke ranks and went to B. Smith's and it was fabulous and relatively inexpensive....a real plus!
Today I have a division 2 meeting that is with directors from NY, NJ and PA. After that there is a cocktail party.
I do enjoy giving back to an industry that has given me so much. It also provides our company with info to help us grow and in this economy, just try to stay alive.
More to follow...
