Mission Statement:  "The EXPO Committee serves in an advisory role to assist in meeting the objectives of the California REALTOR® EXPO Business Plan.  Guidance and direction are provided in speaker selection, program development, and exhibitor relations.  The committee is a work and information dissemination committee.  It reports to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors."

Our first meeting will focus on program development and seminar content.  Please begin to consider the challenges, concerns, and thoughts which affect our members during their day-to-day activity.  The EXPO Committee should come up with at least 50 ideas for seminar content for the EXPO.  We'll also begin selecting subcommittees to better assist in the logistical elements of the EXPO.  Please begin thinking of seminar topics with an emphasis on the changing market.

One of the objectives of President William Brown is the Green Initiative.  Begin thinking about how we can make the EXPO a more ecological  and environmentally enhanced event. We are inviting a few of our top-tiered EXPO Sponsors to set up a table in the registration area.  Please be sure to take the time to stop by and say "Thank You".  They will set up on Wednesday and Thursday.

If you require further information, please contact the staff coordinator, Betty Thomas, 213.739.8236 or bettyt@car.orgWe look forward to seeing you next month.
