The Real Estate Commission, in cooperation with the North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association (NCREEA), sponsored the 1993 North Carolina Real Estate Educators Conference in Raleigh on April 1 and 2.
One hundred four instructors participated in this year's conference, which focused on providing information concerning changes in the industry. There were presentations on current legislative proposals, revisions in the course syllabi, and changes in FHA and VA financing. A highlight of the program was a three-hour session on agency relationships and disclosure.
Additional sessions provided instructors with useful information concerning the effect of the Americans with Disabilities Act, methods for teaching the trust account guidelines, orientation for new instructors and an update of appraisal topics.
The Educators Association conferred awards for outstanding contributions to real estate education during the past year. Tom Mangum, a director and instructor at a private real estate school in Raleigh, was named "Educator of the Year." Ann Bowman, a real estate educator from Charlotte, was honored with the "Most Outstanding Program of the Year" award for her program on agency relationships and disclosure.
Participating in the conference were the Commission's Director of Education and Licensing Larry A. Outlaw, Education and Examination Officer A. Melton Black, Jr., Licensing Officer Evelyn Johnston, Appraiser Education and Examination Officer Earl H. Grubbs, Special Deputy Attorney General Thomas R. Miller, and Assistant Legal Counsel Miriam J. Baer. Education Secretary Penny Childress and Examination Clerk Amy Jones assisted with the arrangements.
