The SCAOR Card – Issue #018 – From the CEO’s Desk
Dear SCAOR Members:
It is Bright MLS transition month. By this time, you should have received an email from Bright MLS for second quarter MLS services. Members should pay $75. If you have not received an invoice, please email me at merritt@scaor.com. For those who attended the first Bright MLS training on May 3, I hope it was helpful. Bright MLS representatives will be at SCAOR on May 11, 21, 30 and 31 conducting a range of training workshops. The web address to log into is BrightMLS.com/Training. Hope to see you around the building sometime soon! The official Bright Preview is May 14 with the Bright Conversion date of June 4.
Other news includes SentriLock billing to commence on June 1. Be on the look out for an email to log into the SCAOR portal and pay between June 1 and June 30. Late fees apply after June 30. The fee is covers members from July 1 to June 30. Home inspection, terminate inspection and appraisals now have access, if interested. Pro-Spect is the first company signing up. They should be using the lockbox program before July 4.
The Strategic Planning Committee will draft a new Strategic Plan on June 13 and 14. The current Association Mission Statement is focused on education, ethics and advocacy. I see technology, government affairs, education and communications are three areas we need to improve upon. We are all looking forward to drafting a new vision for the Association from 2019-2021.
Future meetings of interest is the Finance Committee meeting on May 8, Foundation mixer on May 8, Affiliate mixer on May 9, WCR/SCAOR education and mixer on May 10, NAR Legislative meetings from May 14-19, BOD meeting on May 24 and a REALTOR Safety class on June 14.
As always, thank you for allowing me to serve you as Association Executive.
