Hello Members,

I can’t believe July is here and already a half year of my BNAR Presidency has passed.  I am truly Blessed to be your President; to interact with all of you and gaining valuable information.

One of my initiatives this year was offering free education through the BNAR. Our instructors are well versed in the classes they teach.  Classes are being offered hybrid, meaning you can attend in person or via zoom.  But don’t forget to register so we are able to easily manage the zoom and classroom. Department of State mandates that our classes are monitored.  We have some new instructors and classes so be sure to take advantage of what we have to offer.

Our Town Hall’s and our Regional Meetings have been well attended but we need more members to attend so that we can find out what issues you would like to discuss or services/benefits to offer and other ways we can help you.  Plus you get first-hand information from the BNAR.   We are here for you.

Thank you all that took the time to complete our BNAR survey.  Some said it was too long.  Remember, this is YOUR Association and the only way we can improve and help you in your business is through your voice.  Communication is two ways.  Feel free to email me anytime, I would love to hear from you. My contact information is below.

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, our golf event generated close to $2000 for my charity “Eight Days of Hope”.  Also we wanted to create awareness and education on this charity. Volunteer week for Eight Days of Hope is July 15-22.  Make a donation or lend a hand to help refurbish properties in the Lovejoy district.  www.eighdaysofhope.com

Joining a committee and participating in BNAR events helps grow your business. Networking is the number one way to exchange information and ideas.  I always encourage members to become involved in the Association.  I firmly believe that learning firsthand gives you an edge and participation gives you that.

I hope to see you at our upcoming events, so set these dates aside and watch for our email/text invites.  If you think you are missing our emails, check your spam folder.
