The Richmond Association of REALTORS announces the formation of the 2017 Leadership Development Academy. This unique six-month program identifies and mentors emerging REALTOR® leaders. Participants are exposed to a variety of important, relevant topics through lectures, seminars and leadership exercises. RAR provides selected participants with the instruction, means and resources to effect change and make a difference in their respective professional, personal and civic areas of interest.

Goals of the Leadership Development Academy:

  • Identify strong, dynamic leaders from among our membership
  • Develop and promote an appreciation for the relevance and value of RAR and CVR MLS
  • Cultivate a pool of emerging REALTOR® leaders to serve as future Task Group/Committee Chairs and Board Members
  • Enhance the knowledge and skills of participants and provide member firms with qualified prospects for leadership roles within their organizations
  • Infuse our membership and community with individuals who will serve as Association advocates and ambassadors

The 2017 Leadership Development Academy class is limited to 15 qualified participants, chosen by the RAR Nominating Committee. Brokers are encouraged to nominate members of their firms who exhibit strong leadership potential.

RAR will be accepting applications for the 2017 class through October 31, 2016.  All RAR REALTOR® members are eligible to apply for the program. Applicants will complete an application that includes questions about their professional careers, civic involvement and leadership aspirations. Attendance at all sessions is a requirement for participation.

The tuition for the Leadership Academy is $375 and includes all session instruction, materials and event fees.
