I am writing this on message the weekend before our 2nd Annual Best in Business Awards ceremony. This event is sure to be a rousing success and I hope you took the opportunity to attend. This event is an exclamation point at the following a great year for our industry. Congratulations to all nominees and finalists. Take this opportunity to make a mental note to remember to nominate the best in our business for our 3rd annual event next year.
We are beginning to add content to our www.wimba.org webpage and social media sites. You will now see Industry News Feeds scrolling on the right side of the page of our home page. The WMBA webpage is a great place to check in on the daily industry news and find out the latest happenings among the chapters. Our social media outlets are beginning to buzz too. You can get a link to our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter sites from the upper right of our homepage. I encourage to connect with us on each of these as we are about to add more features through this channel. More than 200 letters went out this week to prospective financial institutions encouraging them to join the WMBA. If you know key people at peer shops in your area, please talk up the benefits of our great organization. The more people we have involved, the louder our political voice and the better our resources can be for our members. Work has begun on our speaker lineup for the 43rd Annual Real Estate Conference held on April 6-7, 2017 at the Potawatomi Hotel in Milwaukee. Please let me or anyone on the board know if you would like to hear from any particular speaker or topic. This is your conference and we want to make sure it is relevant and interesting to our attendees. I hope you have a wonderful and successful fall season!
