NORTH CAROLINA REAL ESTATE EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION
All licensees interested in real estate education or training at any level will be pleased to learn of the recently-formed North Carolina Real Estate Educators Association (NCREEA). This Association is an independent, non-profit organization made up of individuals involved or concerned with real estate education and training or related research. Members come from universities, colleges, community colleges, private real estate schools, real estate companies, and real estate professional organizations.
The purposes of the NCREEA include the following:
To promote and facilitate communications and cooperation among real estate educators.
To promote professional standards of competence and performance among real estate educators in particular and real estate practitioners in general.
To promote education of real estate consumers and encourage wise and optimal use of real estate resources.
- To encourage and participate in education-related research intended to benefit the real estate industry and the general public.
The NCREEA, which was formed upon the request of Board-certified real estate pre-licensing course instructors, plans to publish its first newsletter in early 1982 and to hold its first annual meeting in the Spring of 1982. The interim President of the NCREEA is William K. Gobble of Raleigh.
Persons interested in joining this new Association may do so by mailing a check for $20 (charter membership dues) to the address shown below. Membership is open to anyone concerned with real estate education.

DONATION OF REAL ESTATE BOOKS
The North Carolina Real Estate Licensing Board recently donated a collection of 14 real estate books to the libraries of the 73 community colleges/technical institutes, colleges/universities, and junior colleges which are approved by the Board to conduct real estate prelicensing courses. The purpose of this donation is to provide direct support to the real estate education programs of these schools by improving the real estate collection in each school's library. The donated collection, which includes books on a variety of real estate topics, should benefit both students and instructors of real estate courses, as well as members of the local public who have access to the schools' library facilities.
