The State Leadership Idea Exchange Council will meet Tuesday, May 16, 2017 in the Palladian Room at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. After NAR Leadership addresses the group in the opening session and the top ideas are exchanged, each state association will participate in small, medium, or large breakout sessions.
We also encourage state presidents and state president-elects to attend the State President/State President-Elect Information Exchange on Friday, May 19, 2017, in the Empire Room of the Omni Shoreham Hotel. This Information Exchange also consists of presentations, has allotted time for unresolved issues and current challenges, and provides for questions and answers.
Below, under the “Ideas by State/Territory” headline, are the current ideas. You may also view previous ideas:
