Recording of virtual sessions will be available later this week
The 2021 Nevada REALTORS Virtual State Conference is in the books after hosting more than 400 member attendees last week. The event was originally scheduled to be hosted in-person at Lake Tahoe, but the summer's uptick in Covid cases statewide and forest fire scourge forced state leaders to move the event into a virtual format for the second-straight year.
Still, the event was a hit, featuring a session on keeping a positive mindset from outlook expert Amy Blankson and a diversity program with D&I expert Robert Morris. A leadership panel featuring a trio of past state presidents - Linda Rheinberger, Kevin Sigstad and Dave Tina - and NAR 2023 President Elect Kenny Parcell shared insights on where the real estate industry is headed. Additionally, veteran Silver State journalist Jon Ralston interviewed state assembly members Heidi Kasama and Steve Yeager to discuss issues impacting the real estate industry. Lastly . NVR attorneys Tiffany Banks and Christal Keegan walked viewers through a myriad of legal topics they help members with on a daily basis.
These sessions were recorded last week and will be available to NVR members who missed them the first time around or want to watch a second time for review later this week. The association will share that access information in the coming days.
