- CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS -

As my term as Chairman of the North Carolina Real Estate Licensing Board is completed I wish to express my thanks to the board for the opportunity to serve in this capacity during the post year. The help received from Board members and licensees throughout the State has made the year both memorable and productive.

Although we have made progress in almost every phase of the profession, it is obvious that we still need to be cognizant of the fact that many licensees are failing to operate under the Rules and Regulations of the Licensing Board. A much smaller group of licensees are also failing to operate within the framework of the Licensing Law insofar as ethics is concerned.

It is my hope that each of us will constantly review both the Licensing Law and the Rules and Regulations of the Board in order that we may see the real estate industry in North Carolina become a profession in the strictest sense of the word.

I congratulate Henry Doby on his election as Chairman of the Board for the coming year. I know that each of you will do your part to make 1972-73 the best year ever for real estate in North Carolina.
