Day two for me but for most of the attendees this is day one of the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS annual convention.
Last night we attended the RPAC Reception and RPAC Awards presentation and had a great time. This year I was surprised at how low the attendance was at this event. Usually it is standing room only as everyone wants in on a piece of the RPAC Auction action. The RPAC auction is an annual event and a guaranteed good time.
This morning I started bright and early with my session on blogging and social newtworking being held at 8 a.m., so you know I had to behave last night :). The turnout was better than I expected albeit very low.
Afterwards I attended the Open Political Forum which was very interesting especially with all the political happenings going on.
I was, I admit, very disappointed in Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain and Sarah Palin...who were all too busy to stop by our convention. They did send representatives but it wasn’t the same and I feel a missed opportunity for the candidates.
The highlight of my morning was Mike Schlappi. He spoke about overcoming obstacles and making a difference. His story is amazing! I don't think there was a dry eye in room. What struck me the most was his talk about team work and how we all reflect upon each other. He was simply excellent and I wish our entire membership could have heard him.
After lunch I sat through a part of Anita Hill’s presentation on servicing the Seller and from what I saw of it, it was very informative, I had to run from her session to go see and hear Mr. Short Sale himself... Prescott Lane.
All in all it has been a busy day for me…oh and by the way… Jay? He’s golfing again!
I put together a little slide show of some of my convention pictures. For some weird reason everytime my fellow REALTORS see me coming with my camera they all take off??? I don’t get it!
I did find a few brave REALTORS who allowed me to stick my camera in their face!
Enjoy.... you might even see a few AR bloggers in the pictures
