Washington REALTOR® Graduates from NC REALTORS® Leadership Academy Class of 2008

            WASHINGTON, N.C. – John Easterling of Coldwell Banker Coastal Rivers Realty recently graduated from the North Carolina Association of REALTORSÒ’ 2008 Leadership Academy. The graduation ceremony was held during the closing session at the NCAR Annual Convention in Charlotte.

Recognizing that leadership development is an essential element in the process of improving the real estate profession, the Leadership Academy seeks to identify and train local REALTORÒ leaders for future leadership positions.  

          The twelve participants, who were chosen from a statewide pool of highly qualified applicants, worked together in an intense training course that combined individual study, group sessions, and actual project experience.  Training sessions included activities to help participants identify individual leadership skills, team-building exercises, and instruction about goal setting, network building, and improving communication skills.

John served as 2005 President of the Washington – Beaufort County Board of RealtorsÒ and is currently serving on the North Carolina Association of REALTORSÒ Legislative Committee.
