September 2002 - Residential Member Services

Evaluating product and services
that help Realtors® in their business

Leslie Zimmerman, Chair
Member Services Committee

The member services committee has several goals for this year.
1. Tour member service center to look at products offered to the membership and give the member service center a fresh look.
2. Preview member service vendors to insure all programs are competitive and up to date.
3. Look at new products and services to add to our vendor list.
4. Enhance member services and products on the CBR website.
5. Educate area associations on services and products available to members.

At this time we offer many member discounts and services. For information, visit our Member Discount page.

The committee also took a look at a ‘forms on-line' program which should be available by the time you read this article.

Our largest project is the member services store. We have spent several meetings discussing inventory, new products to sell, store layout and the hiring of a design specialist. Thank you to Sharon Wong of Ready, Set, Sell for referring outstanding retail designers to us. We hope that by the end of the year the store will have a new look and may have some new products as well.

We welcome any suggestions you many have. Please feel free to contact any of our committee members: Mara Ackermann, Kathleen Blankemeyer, Carol Borden, Tom Browning, Tami Cheek, Jane Coughlin, Bernie DeCicco, Diana Dierkes, Suzette Malizia, Dan Miller, Barbara Neff, Sarah Pearson, Timothy Reichert, Diana Schelb, Judith Schultz, Dan Smith , Norm Taylor, John Royer, Mary Jo White, Chris Pedon, and Leslie Zimmerman.

This years committee goals were based upon our accomplishments over the last few years. The goals are particularly important this year as we complete some of the projects we have been working on such as the member services store.

If you are interested in being on a committee, you may want to consider the member services committee. It is a very fun and rewarding committee to be on. If you have any suggestions regarding the store or any of the member services that are currently offered, please contact any of the committee members. We are always looking for ways to bring great services and products to the members. Thank you for your continued support and watch for a grand opening in the near future of our member services store.
