By NAR, C.A.R. have new leaders for 2009
There is new leadership at the National Association of REALTORS® and the California Association of REALTORS®.
Charles McMillan, who’s been a REALTOR® for more than 20 years, is the 2009 NAR president. He is also the director of realty relations and broker of record for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Dallas-Fort Worth.
McMillan was NAR 2008 president-elect, and was the first vice president in 2007. He also served as the Texas Association of REALTORS® president in 1998.
In a speech at a NAR leadership summit in August, McMillan spoke about change, warning, “if you are not ready and willing to address change, you will not succeed.” He also said that leaders must be able to distinguish short-term change and real progress. McMillan’s final point was this: “I believe all change starts at the individual level. It cannot be forced on an organization, each and every member is responsible for doing their part.”
Meanwhile, James Liptak, a broker with Country Real Estate in Paso Robles, is the 2009 C.A.R. president. Liptak is also president of James & Sydney Liptak Inc.
In a story in California Real Estate Magazine, Liptak says he wants to be C.A.R. president because “This is the most successful real estate organization in the world. … We’re the largest state trade association in the country, and we’re the best. It’s like standing on top of Mount Everest. You’re looking at the rest of the world, and you’re looking at it from a very advantageous viewpoint.”
