The NEFAR Leadership Academy is back for another year with Audrey Lackie of Watson Realty stepping in as chair. She took the job after Stephanie White of Magnolia Properties, who was originally the chair, resigned to take a job in Fort Walton Beach.
The academy schedule starts with the association’s installation luncheon on January 20 and, through the course of the year, students will go through a mix of meetings and educational sessions.
February’s duty is the annual Florida Realtors day in Tallahassee on Feb. 14-15 where Realtors from throughout the state gather to lobby legislators.
Here’s the rest of the year:
March 1: A meeting at the St. Johns County office to learn about the academy, team building and how the RPAC Auction works.
May 22: Study of the association’s leadership structure including attending that day’s board meeting at the NEFAR office.
