The 2004 Class
In 2003, under the direction of the then President, Peggy Sawicki, the dream became a reality. In 2003 our first graduating class emerged. Since that time we have had an additional class graduate and we plan to continue the trend to help develop tomorrows leaders.
What are its objectives?
To identify Idaho REALTORS® who have demonstrated leadership potential through job-related and community activity.
To train participants by developing leadership skills.
To motivate participants by:
Increasing awareness of real estate and association management issues and challenges;
Involvement in problem-solving activities on issues of current interest; and,
Providing a network of leaders across the state who are actively involved in improving our Association and profession.
The participants work together in a training course which combines individual study, group session, and actual project experience in using leadership skills. Training sessions include identification of leadership skills, team-building exercises, procedures for goal setting, personal profile analysis, network building, and improving communication skills.
Participation in the Idaho REALTORS® Leadership Academy is open to members of the Idaho Association of REALTORS®. A maximum of 14 individuals will be appointed to participate in the program. Because the number of appointments to the Idaho REALTORS® Leadership Academy is limited, applicants who are not selected are encouraged to reapply in subsequent years.
Participants will be chosen by the Idaho REALTORS® Leadership Academy Selection Committee based on upon the information completed on this application. The Committee will be seeking representation from a cross section of the profession. Nominees will be active in business, education, the arts, religion, government, community-based organizations, ethnic or minority groups, or real estate specialty areas, and will reflect the diversity of the organization.
100% Attendance at sessions is mandatory. Those who fail to attend may be asked to withdraw with no refund of tuition.
