On Friday March 5, 2010 I had the opportunity to address the Seacoast Board of REALTORS® at the their semi-annual State of Seacoast News Conference and membership meeting.

Hoops for Heroes
January 5th, 2010
Have you heard the news? Dave Cummings has been all over it and for a very worthy cause!
I published this on my Blog this morning and thought it very worthy of being here as well.
Hoops for Heroes ~ Please help this New Hampshire man reach his goal
Dave Cummings who is a valued staff member of the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS plans to use the basketball court to help raise money and most importantly awareness for our veterans. A a sister of a disabled war vet this endeavor means a lot to me.
Hoops for Heroes
Dave is an awesome guy and I hope he makes his goal of sinking a total of 1 million free throws to raise $1,000,000 for The Fallen Heroes Fund .
Check out Dave’s Blog Hoop For Heroes to follow his progress or better yet how about donating to this very worthy cause.
From the Hoops for Heroes Website:
Every shot made shall serve as a reminder of the reverence
due those who have honored us with their selfless service to this country.
Every dollar raised shall serve to benefit those who now suffer for that sacrifice.
To all Veterans, though it will never be enough, this is our solemn thank you.
The “Purple Cow” Association – Is That Us?
April 13th, 2009
A REMARKABLE REALTOR® Association
Have you ever read Seth Godin‘s book, “The Purple Cow“?
In this book, Seth writes about being ‘remarkable’. And the ‘purple cow‘ is just that, remarkable - interesting – different.
Matt Rathbun of The Agent Trainer wrote a really interesting post last week about “The Purple REALTOR Association®”, and it really got me to thinking about our own state association.
We all want the things we do and the time we give to make a difference, to make a difference in a positive way. In short, we want what we do to be ‘PURPLE‘ – remarkable, different, interesting, good, positive, etc. And I think most of us want that for the organizations and associations we belong to as well.
In his post, Matt wrote:
A remarkable Association is one that is noteworthy, has a following and is forever reinventing itself. This stems from true leaders and not managers.
We all see that leaders are “often risk takers”, they dare to be different – some in small degrees and some in larger bold degrees. However much they step out of the box, those leaders dare to be different, to actually lead and not manage.
The real estate industry is quickly evolving and so at its core it’s looking for leaders to create and lead us forward. Most anyone can manage, given some easy systems and little training – leadership requires much more.
In “The Purple REALTOR® Association“ post, go read the paragraphs on “The Sneezers“, “The Atheists“, “The Glory Days“, “Remember Who Your Friends Are“…. that whole post is worth reading several times. Then think about our own association, the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS®.
We need to let the leaders of our association actually lead, and not get mired down in the pettiness that can arise when egos clash, when micro-managers surface and try to take us down bad paths, when bickering over trivial things leads to lost valuable time.
Several years ago, while taking part in the first inaugural NHAR Leadership Symposium led by Roger Turcotte, I learned a saying that I’ve never forgotten since then – “If a leader doesn’t lead, a leader will emerge“.
Don’t we all really want our own association to be one of The Purple REALTOR® Associations??
“Be remarkable and the members will follow you!”
