SEVRAR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Behind every successful REALTOR^® is a sense of community. The more you know about your community and become involved in the area that you live and sell in, the more successful you are likely to be.

Recognizing this, in 2004 the SouthEast Valley Regional Association of REALTORS^® established a leadership development program. This unique educational opportunity is not only about making you a better REALTOR^®, it is also about building your community and becoming a successful leader throughout your life!

One of the reasons for establishing this program was to attract “fresh volunteer faces” to the community-at‐large and the SEVRAR association. The goal is to build a strong foundation to secure the future success and prosperity of the association.
