The annual convention is in full swing. In the halls it’s elbow to elbow and the line at the water fountain is long and the thirsty are impatient… The almost-week long convention draws REALTORs from across the state. They come to socialize, to party, to get educated and to network. This is my first convention and I’m really excited.

My FAR day tomorrow is packed! Here’s the breakdown:

9-11     REALTOR Political Action Committee

11-2     Microsoft Excel workshop

215 -345  Go Global with Listings Unleashed on the Web

320      Meeting with Bob Caldwell to discuss Habitat for Humanity

4-530       Building Your Website

I am also taking part in the Florida Association of REALTORs Leadership Academy this year and we had our second-to-last group meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the bulk of the convention following just after from Thurs to Sun.

One of the sessions/committee meetings that I am looking forward to the most is the Legislative & Political Forum on Friday from 5 to 630pm. I’m a political junky and this session assumes to have the most political action of the week because the main focus for the session will be a meet and greet Q&A session with Gubernatorial Candidates Bill McCollum, Florida Attorney General and Alex Sink, Florida Cheif Financial Officer and U.S. Senate Candidates Kendrick Meek, Member of Congress (FL-17) and Marco Rubio, Former Florida House Speaker.

Pretty cool.
