I just returned from a week in San Diego, California where I attended the CRS (Council of Residential Specialists) annual convention. As traditionally done in the past, our meetings overlapped with the National Association of REALTORS Annual Convention. Having never been to San Diego, I arrived several days early so that I could enjoy some of the sights. Six of my friends from our CRS family also had the same idea, so we filled our days with as much as we could.
On our first day, with some trepidation, we purchased light-rail passes and took the train to Tijuana, Mexico.....we spent the day shopping, browsing the stores, shopping, more shopping and eating.
I laughed so hard as I watched everyone gather around the kiosk to purchase a multiple day pass.....
Upon returning safely to San Diego ("Duck and Cover" to my traveling companions), we headed to the famous San Diego Zoo. I took so many pictures, I could fill an entire album, but the pandas, lions and monkeys captured my hear.
The Leadership meetings provided a wealth of information as well as an opportunity for us to see old friends and make new contacts across the country. Above, Mary Nelson, 2010 President, Colorado CRS Chapter #1 visits with Joe Prunty, RVP for Region 15 prior to one of the ongoing meetings.
Although I live and my real estate business is in Colorado, specifically metro Denver, Lakewood and Golden, I am very excited to announce that I have been appointed Regional Vice President for Region 5 by the Council of Residential Specialists. Beginning in January 2010, I will be working with the leadership teams for the Alabama, North Alabama, Georgia and Northern Florida as a liaison. At these meetings, I had the opportunity to meet the incoming presidents of these chapters and I look forward to a very productive new year.
