\"MLSInsightThis will be the final entry in the series MLS Insight<\/a>, about how things work at RMLS\u2122.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Just over 24 years ago, I joined the RMLS\u2122 staff as its seventh employee. I came on board when RMLS\u2122 was just one year old! Today, RMLS\u2122 is a vibrant organization celebrating its 25th anniversary, but I will no longer have a front row seat as I am retiring at the end of this month.<\/p>\n

In 1992, I answered an ad for a part-time Administrative Secretary. My job was to staff the board meetings (take minutes, etc.) and to produce Market Action<\/em>, which had just started publication. It was prepared much differently then. Reports were run from the old Stellar system and then the results were retyped into a Pagemaker file for publication. There was a lot of proofreading needed! Two people would sit and read numbers back and forth for a few hours each month.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have not missed but maybe two or three board meetings in the last 24 years, and, if you know a current or former RMLS\u2122 Director, I think you should say “Thank you!” I don’t think you could find a steadier, more thoughtful or dedicated group of volunteer leaders.<\/p>\n

I will miss my workmates. The RMLS\u2122 staff is a wonderful group. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to connect with many of our subscribers, and it has been my pleasure to serve the REALTOR\u00ae community. Best wishes to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
