State Leadership Idea Exchange Council: REALTORS® Conference & Expo 2017

The State Leadership Idea Exchange Council will meet Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017 in Chicago Ballroom E at the Chicago Marriott Hotel. After NAR Leadership addresses the group in the opening session and the top ideas are exchanged, each state association will participate in small, medium, or large breakout sessions.

We also encourage state presidents and state president-elects to attend the State President/State President-Elect Information Exchange on Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017, in the Camelot Room, third floor, of the Hotel Intercontinental. This Information Exchange also consists of presentations, has allotted time for unresolved issues and current challenges, and provides for questions and answers.

Below, under the “Ideas by State/Territory” headline, are the current ideas. You may also view previous ideas:
