Liveblogging the Policy Board interviews

While I’m missing the BloggerCon …

I’m not going to give a run-down of every candidate, rather an overview of how the Policy Board interviews are going.

First, What’s the Policy Board?

To get an idea of what the Policy Board does, take a peek at some of the minutes from their meetings. Hint: they make a lot of decisions that impact everyday Realtors’ business.

Each candidate has the opportunity to answer 5 questions.

1. In terms of your Realtor Association volunteer experience, what accomplicsment are you most proud of, and why?
2. Please describe what make an effective Policy Board member.
3. There are several running for 9 seats, 4 won’t be elected. What makes you a better choice to be a PB member than the other candidates?
4. Describe on area where VAR should do a better job or where they ought to focus more and how you think it should be addressed.
5. Policy Board members represent all 39,500 VAR members; what should a PB member’s relationship be with his or her local association?

Interestingly, graduates of the Virginia Leadership Academy are very well represented.

These interviews are open to all VAR members … stop on by.
