Real estate associations need to start thinking of themselves first and foremost as trade organizations. Our job is not simply to keep members busy, fill a calendar, preserve every committee that has ever existed, or continue programs because a small group of loyal participants enjoys them. Our job is to help real estate professionals create business opportunities, raise their level of professionalism and stay prepared to serve the ever-changing needs of real estate consumers. That requires a very different way of thinking about strategy.
