The work group hosted its fourth AE YPN Meet-Up on Saturday, November 12. The Meet-Up consisted of two presentations and some roundtable discussions:
• Lisa Herceg, Manager of Marketing Research at NAR, presented the results of a survey conducted to help better communicate with association staff in the Generation X and Y demographic.
• Two REALTOR® Party consultants, Meredith Weisel and Bryan Wahl, presented to the group on the benefits of contributing to the My REALTOR® Party initiative and offered their services as consultants to local and state associations around the country.
• The following topics were discuss in roundtable breakouts:
o Running local YPN Chapters
o Focus Groups, Surveys & Interviews: When, How and Why to use them
o Communications Successes
Next Steps
Chair Chris Carrillo and Vice Chair Mark Epstein announced that the AE YPN Work Group did not meet at these meetings, since all work group initiatives could be addressed at the Meet-Up. The AE YPN Meet-Up will continue in 2012 as an opportunity for YPN AEs to network and exchange information, but the work group will be sunset.
