REAL candidates announced

OOPS - We should have posted this article from the August 11th Indianapolis Star earlier. But better late than never!



This week, 21 hand-picked members of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of REALTORS (MIBOR) took the first step a journey of professional development geared toward improving not only their individual careers, but the central Indiana community as a whole.

The Real Estate Academy of Leadership, called REAL for short, kicked off its annual program in a ceremony at the Indiana Historical Society on Wednesday, July 23rd. Candidates for the 10-month academy -- established in 1995 to help develop a pool of potential leaders for the central Indiana real estate industry -- include REALTORS and MIBOR affiliate members.


REAL offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges and strengths of central Indiana's economy, and more importantly, helps REALTORS understand how they play a role.

"There's a lot of change in the air right now -- both in our industry, and our community at large. REAL offers a view of how new trends in legislation, the economy and the housing market are not only impacting our work as REALTORS, but almost every facet of life in central Indiana," explained Bruce Bright, 2008-2009 REAL moderator and MIBOR past-president.

The 10-month journey exposes the diverse group of participants to a variety of topics through one-day seminars, site visits and experiential learning sessions.

The program has hundreds of alumni, with many serving or having served in board and community leadership roles. The admissions process is selective, and the positive word-of-mouth about the programs has academy openings in hot demand.

Candidates are eligible for selection after being a MIBOR REALTOR member or MIBOR affiliate member for a minimum of two years. However, it is equally important that the candidates possess a strong commitment to working for positive change. Volunteer activity, both in MIBOR and the central Indiana community, is important for acceptance to the program.
