Scottsdale Association of Realtors Leadership Academy

The Scottsdale Area Association of Realtors has this phenomenal leadership program, and I was nominated and selected for Class XV.  For the past seven weeks, I’ve been spending a day or two a week with thirteen other Realtors learning about the inner workings and offerings that make Scottsdale what it it is.

I have learned so much about this city and what it offers its residents and will share as much as I can here as time permits, since we still four weeks to go.

So far, we’ve had days that included learning about Scottsdale city government, several major businesses, an arts and culture day, the police department, and this past week, we spent a day with the fire department at their training facility (which was absolutely phenomenal).

Our  Class XV has assumed the moniker of Feisty Fifteen.  Feisty as in “full of animation, energy, or courage; spirited; spunky”.  We most definitely are that, and more.

As a group, we’ve bonded. And, as leaders in our community, we are growing and evolving.

This leadership program has been Bob’s “baby” over the years and what a special time it has been.

Thank you, Bob.

For the opportunity. For all you do. And for what we all have learned from you about being a truly gracious and effective leader.
