Osceola ReVIEW - October 2008 - (Page 2) President’s Perspective By Hope Andrews Dear MeMbers, I would like you to stop what you are doing and take a moment to check your records and make sure you have either completed or are signed-up for a Quadrennial Code of Ethics training session. This requirement must be completed by December 31, 2008, as a requirement of membership until the next four-year cycle. Please call the Association to register for one of the “Popcorn & Ethics” sessions that the Association has scheduled, or you can take the course online at www.realtor.org. We recently held our 2008 RPAC Auction & Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament finale. It was a great success, and I want to personally thank everyone who participated in the planning and set-up for their dedication and efforts. RPAC is near and dear to my heart and I want to make it a part of yours as well. With all the financial upheaval that is going on now, along with the mortgage crisis, there is no better time than now to get involved with your REALTOR® Political Action Committee and make an impact on the election of officials who will shape the legislation that affects your livelihood and the way real estate professionals do business! We’ve have had some significant changes at the Association in the past couple of months, and I want to assure our membership that our number one priority is our members, and that we will continue our promise to deliver our commitment to quality customer service. The Board of Directors and I have the utmost confidence in your new Association Executive, Jeri Peyton, and I encourage you to stop by the Association office and say hello to her or send her an email to welcome her in her new position! I am excited and enthusiastic about all the great things that our members have helped us to accomplish so far this year. As always, I am just a phone call away (407-944-0049) if you would like to talk to me or if you have any issues, concerns or suggestions for your Association. ■ PUbLIC POLICY COMMITTee By Randy Hillman, Chairman THE PUBLIC POLICY REPORT The Public Policy committee meets once a month to review matters that are coming before local government entities that may be of special concern to REALTORS®. The hope is to keep REALTORS® informed of matters upon which they may want to provide input to the local government entities considering these issues. THE POWER OF THE REALTOR® ENDORSEMENT Prior to the election in August, 13 candidates running for office received endorsement from the Osceola County Association of REALTORS®. Of those 13 candidates, 10 of them will be in the November 4th general election. THE LYNX SUPERSTOP AND KISSIMMEE INTERMODAL STATION The Lynx SuperStop and the Kissimmee Intermodal Station will return to their originally planned location in downtown Kissimmee at E. Drury and Neptune Road. This location is within easy walking distance of dining and shopping centers, the Osceola County Courthouse and Government Center, Osceola Regional Medical Center and the Lake Tohopekaliga shore. 2 Continued on Page 12.
