New AE Fundamentals

New AE Fundamentals Sessions
These early-morning classes are an extension of NAR's New AE Orientation sessions.  Join us Sunday-Tuesday mornings to learn more about the basics of REALTOR® association management. While geared toward new AEs, these sessions are open to all Institute attendees.

 

I’m a New AE - Now What?
Sunday, April 18, 7:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
Cindy Butts, RCE, CAE, EVP, Maine Association of REALTORS®
The first year on the job can be a series of surprises, combined with the necessity of learning, managing, and navigating a wide range of activities and personalities. And it can be overwhelming, to say the least. Find out what you should look for, common mistakes made the first year, and resources available to you.

NAR Policy 101
Monday, April 19, 7:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
Kristine Erickson, Policy Consultant, Board Policy & Programs, NAR; Rodney Gansho, RCE, Manager, Policy Information, Board Policy & Programs, NAR
Policy is just one of the many facets of a REALTOR® association executive’s job. Is it possible to know everything about policy? Probably not. But with the tools available to you from NAR, you’ll be well on your way to managing policy issues at your association. Learn about NAR’s policy review process, Code of Ethics training, on-line resources, and other “need-to-know” information to understand this key component of REALTOR® association management.

NRDS—the Basics
Tuesday, April 20, 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
