Hats off to real estate volunteers

Behind the scenes of any successful not-for-profit organization can usually be found a dedicated, hardworking group of volunteers.

Behind the scenes of any successful not-for-profit organization can usually be found a dedicated, hardworking group of volunteers. OREA is no exception.

Since its inception more than 80 years ago, real estate professionals have given countless volunteer hours to improve the profession and provide members with the best service their organization can provide.

Everything from ensuring real estate education meets the highest standards of the industry to shaping the future of the real estate profession has been tackled on the agendas of committees and task forces over the years. But why do they do it?

“Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our profession,” says OREA President Linda Baumgartner. “Most of our volunteers will tell you that they get back more than they give - whether it is learning a new skill, developing networking opportunities or simply making new friends. Volunteering also gives people the chance to take an active role in shaping the future of our business,” she says. “Real estate is all about constant learning and you just naturally learn more when you are involved.”

OREA would like to recognize the following volunteers for their commitment to improving the real estate profession by volunteering on OREA’s 2002 – 2003 committees:
