NAR is changing their ethics requirement to every two years beginning in 2017. The Board has approved to update our Bylaws to reflect that change. See below the cycle dates for Code of Ethics requirements. The class must be completed at any time during these established cycles.
Current Cycle:
January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016
Future Cycles:
January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018
January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020
There was more discussion about doing Yard of the Week this year. The advertising is quite expensive, so Denise is working with Ryan at the Cortez Journal to see if they can work something out.
Habitat for Humanity will be working on a remodel project coming up in a month or so on a home on 2nd Street in Cortez. We thought that this might be a good project for our fellow Realtor’s to participate in and get involved with Habitat for Humanity. We will need Realtor® volunteers for this project. A lot can be accomplished on one Saturday if we get enough volunteers. Let Denise know if you are interested. This would satisfy a NAR Core Standard requirement for NAR.
Becca Samulski with FireWise came to the The Board of Directors and asked if we would give her our support to apply for a grant that is available from the Colorado Association of Realtors for local projects. We approved to give her our support. It would be nice to see FireWise in our area get some funds to spread the word to area homeowners about being Fire Wise on their properties.
The Board approved $325.00 to advertise in the Celebrate Our Spirit Magazine again this year.
Relay for Life will be held in the City Park in August. Please let Leila Hanson (749-2789) know if you would like to volunteer for this great event this year. This would satisfy a Core Standard requirement for NAR.
