January 2023 Newsletter
"We were reminded this month that we live on a mountain and we have one of the snowiest cities in the country. I hope you all were able to stay safe and I have no doubt you helped tons of clients and neighbors with their snow removal needs. I am so excited to start this journey of being your President for 2023. The Board of Directors and the Committees have a lot in store for 2023. The first quarter of the year will be the perfect time for us to polish our skills and show the world what true professionals we are. This is the time to put our noses to the grindstone and know that the association is here to help in any way we can. Let’s make 2023 a year to come together as an association and show people what being a REALTOR® means!"
