Message from the President
Hello Members,
Happy New Year and Welcome to 2012! I am Amy Winklhofer, your 2012 President of the BNAR, I would like to share with you my theme this year: “REALTORS, Keepers of the American Dream” which truthfully is our role…it is a privilege to be part of such a memorable occasion in the lives of others.
My initiatives this year include: expanding the Young Professionals Network with a partnership in Toronto, makings us the 1st international merger. Helping our Veterans and active Military – we will be offering the HOMES course which is Housing for the Military, as well as collecting old cell phones, dvd’s or even sending veterans a care package. We also plan on working with Gateway Longview, a organization that helps children and families in need. We will continue to partner with the Buffalo Home & Garden Show, as well as be active in our communities. I look forward to another successful agents/member day, many lunch-n-learns and the continuance of professionalism throughout our industry… and especially look forward to working with my Officers, Directors, Chairs and with you.
Also, don’t ever hesitate to contact me. I have a special email “Ask Amy” for you to keep in touch with me and sending your questions or comments any time, on any subject 24/7/365.
Thank You,
Your President
Amy
