The State Leadership Idea Exchange Council will meet Thursday, November 1, 2018 in the Constitution Ballroom, Second Floor, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel for the closing session, immediately following the state forums. 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.
State leaders will have an opportunity to engage with NAR leadership and view exciting presentations from peers.
We also encourage state presidents and state president-elects to attend the State President/State President-Elect Information Exchange on Sunday, November 4, 2018 in the Back Bay Ballroom C, Second Floor, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. This Information Exchange also consists of presentations, and has allotted time for roundtable topic discussions with time for questions and answers.
Below, under the “Ideas by State/Territory” headline, are the current ideas. You may also view previous ideas:
