“It has been a time of transition here at SCAOR that presents an amazing opportunity for the staff and me to assist in the rebranding of the association and extend a new variety of member benefits and resources for the exciting times ahead. As an advocate for the protection of property rights and home ownership, the association has an important job of monitoring trends in the market and providing the necessary tools for our members to be equipped and react effectively, timely and professionally. I am excited for this new chapter for SCAOR, the staff and for myself, and I look forward to the challenges ahead.”
