The Real Estate Commission, in cooperation with the North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association (NCREEA), sponsored the 1994 North Carolina Real Estate Educators Conference in Chapel Hill on March 22 and 23.

 

Nearly 200 individuals, the most in the conference's 15-year history, attended this year's conference. The record number was due largely to interest in the Commission's new continuing education requirement. Commission staff explained plans for implementing the Continuing Education Program, provided a complete presentation on the proposed continuing education rules and received feedback from educators through a series of lively, discussions.

Highlights of the remainder of the program included individual presentations by the President and President-Elect of the [National] Real Estate Educators Association, a session for appraisal instructors and an open forum where attendees were provided the opportunity to ask questions of a panel of Commission staff.

The Educators Association conferred awards for outstanding contributions to real estate education during the past year. Ann Bowman, a real estate educator from Wilmington, was named "Educator of the Year." Tom Mangum, a director and instructor at a private real estate school in Raleigh, was honored with the "Most Outstanding Program of the Year" award.
