Second Annual Real Estate Summit John K. Glaab - settlement-co.com March 17, 2010
For a second year in a row, The National Association of Realtors (NAR) will host a special Real Estate Summit on Tuesday, May 11th. It will be staged at association's mid year meetings in Washington, D.C.
The summit will bring together real estate professionals, academic and opinion leaders, economists, government officials, and members of the media for a dynamic conversation about how to address real estate challenges across the nation.
Stay tuned for more information about keynote speakers and times. (AUTHOR'S NOTE I attended last year's summit. It had been planned as a half day of panels, but ended up being a full day summit. Among the speakers were Alan Greenspan, former Head of the Federal Reserve Bank, Sheila Blair, head of F.D I.C., members of academia, the media and economists. U.S. banks were subject to a great deal of criticism by panel members and the audience. This to do with past and current lending policies. The following day a Commercial Real Estate Summit was held.)
Other highlights at the Washington meetings will include; the Certified International Property Specialists (CIPS) breakfast. New CIPS designees will receive their diplomas and pins at this event, the International and Second home Real Estate Forum, the International Networking Reception, the MLS Association Executives Session, a Trade Show and visits to several embassies and members of Congress. State real estate associations will caucus during the week. John Glaab has been a member of NAR's International Section for over a decade.
