Compelling
Vibrant, healthy REALTOR® organizations must find ways to identify and nurture strong, future leaders. All REALTOR® associations need a steady source of new leaders possessed of their own energy, commitment, passion, and vision to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Through CCAR, Texas Association of REALTORS® offers a turnkey leadership program for local associations to deliver to their members. Its key objectives: Discover, Recruit, Educate, Empower.

Flexible
The full program is designed for eight days of interactive instruction to be given over approximately eight months. Local associations throughout Texas can offer the full program to their leader-students, or select modules that more precisely fit their size, resources, and time constraints. Two modules, Diversity and Spokesperson Training, are certified for 16 total hours MCE credit.

Inspirational
The Texas Association of REALTORS® has designed this new program for local associations to take it and run with it. The scope consists of a comprehensive how-to—from uncovering hidden leaders, educating them, and ultimately empowering these leaders to pursue association service and leadership roles upon graduation.

Practical
Participating associations receive instructor and student manuals including a list of supplementary reading materials. Each module has a detailed curriculum, delivered through a variety of adult learning modes that are interactive and relevant: lecture, group discussion, exercises, audiovisual aids, field trips, and class projects.

Relevant
The content focuses on leadership for the 21st century. It aims at discovering the leader within, finding the power behind the team, empowering the leader to work for the greater good of the association, and ultimately providing a direct path to association service and leadership.
