RECAP: Career Development Week
LOUISIANA REALTORS • September 12, 2018
Louisiana REALTORS held the second week long event focused on the opportunity for REALTORS to earn nationally recognized designations and certifications. Attendees of the event learned from some of the best national instructors and walked away better prepared to represent clients and with the strategies needed to apply to their business.
The debut of the brand new Data Privacy course that was cancelled at the event has been rescheduled for November 5, 2018 in Metairie at the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of REALTORS. Registration for that course is now open and an early bird discount is applicable until October 5.
“We are committed as an organization to provide these great learning opportunties for REALTORS. We know that this caliber of education goes beyond the minimum continuing education requirements and will better prepare REALTORS to meet the needs of today’s consumers,” said Norman Morris, CEO.
Attendees of the event had positive things to say as well -
“I enjoyed every minute of my participation in Career Week. Great line up of instructors. “ -Debra Lindsey
“I thought I was a good broker, until I came here!” - John Mondello
“ The last 3 days were awesome! The opportunities for an independent broker with a small boutique company to learn is very few and hard to find! I wish we had things like this quarterly. Thank you for the great sessions!” - Kellie Osbon
“I enjoyed the classes, wish I could have attended more than 3. I learned a lot that I can implement in my business. I will attend the next one offered. “ - Carolyn Webber
