VISION FOR RLI NATIONAL

I would like to see more members, more participation, and more professionalism in land brokerage. I think education and good marketing events will achieve more membership and stronger quality of members.

I’m a second generation ALC. I support education and marketing and RLI member participation – evidenced through my participation in RLI education, committees and years of dedicated service to RLI and land brokerage in Idaho, the West, and National Meetings and attendance and the numerous leadership positions in the past. I’d like to see more members, stronger alliances in marketing and networking – and through education. It would be great to work on a team – with people that want to see RLI improve and move into the future while holding the core values of our rich past. I have met and worked with many ALC’s across the country over the years. I feel real estate is improved through these kinds of relationships and offering quality education – and I’d like to see more opportunities for increased membership and participation.
