MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Announcing Upcoming National Member Survey

 

REIC is working hard to ensure that it delivers to its members the kind of service and commitment that exemplifies the best in professional associations. As we begin to look at what the REIC vision for the future involves, we are happy to announce that we will be performing a national member’s survey later this month. Do you have ideas you would like to share with the national office, services you’d like to have us perform, member benefits you would like to enjoy, or knowledge and information that we could provide you with that will help you in your business or career? Or do you know of activities, events or campaigns you believe REIC should be involved with? How can we help build recognition for your designations and professional standing? Can REIC enable your career advancement, success rates or help you reach more potential clients and customers in your region?

 

The member survey is being developed with these sorts of questions in mind and will uncover the ways in which REIC can become an essential part of your success.  The information we receive will be compiled and presented to you in a quick and easy to understand format. You will gain a better understanding of the association that you are a part of, your peers, the organization’s activities, its outlook and the services it can provide.

 

Most associations perform member surveys to build an accurate understanding of their membership profiles, needs and interests. REIC is one of the longest running associations of real estate professionals in Canada. A major component of this success can be attributed to the relationships it maintains with major organizations in Canadian real estate, both in the public and private sectors. Our member survey results will be able to depict to those organizations across Canada who we are, our commitment to ethics and professional standards that are becoming increasingly necessary in the real estate industry, our values, education curriculum and programs. In order to continue fostering and building a solid foundation and reputation in Canada that speaks for real estate professionals, education and advancement, we have learned that having an accurate view of our membership and its interests will increase our appeal throughout the industry. Please stay on the lookout in your email inbox for the survey and let us know what you want to see in your association as we move forward. We are excited to learn what the results will say and will keep you abreast of the information and knowledge we gain as it becomes available.

 

For more information, please contact the national office at 1-800-542-REIC or 416-695-9000.

REIC 2006/2007 President
