A Note from the President

I am delighted to announce the following:

Joe Gibson will be joining the board and will be in charge of Information Technology. He is also the speaker for the upcoming one-day seminar "A Primer for Beginning Real Estate Investors."

 

Debbie Call is joining the board and will be the Secretary. Debbie has been hosting the very popular Women's Focus Group which meets four times a month, twice in the morning and twice in the evening.

 

Bruce Bachtel has been a member of the UCREIA board for a year and was recently elected Vice President for 2008. Bruce also chairs the Membership Committee.

 

Dave Smythe rises to the post of President for 2008. As he's previously held this position we can look forward to steady leadership and lots of puns/jokes at our meetings.

Thanks to these folks, the entire board, and our volunteers for their unwavering support and tireless efforts in growing Upstate Carolina REIA and providing excellent educational and networking opportunities to all our members.

Skip Miller

2007 President
