NAR President-elect Charles McMillan encouraged young professionals to take an active role in in the industry, as he addressed the YPN’s newly formed Advisory Board during the Midyear meetings this week. McMillan responded to board members questions about how young professionals can get involved within the industry and informed them about some of NAR’s key initiatives.

Check out McMillan’s blog entry on NAR’s Voices of Real Estate about his talk with the board and his advice to young real estate professionals throughout the industry.

The meeting marked the YPN Advisory Board’s first meeting, which also included brainstorming sessions on YPN future events, increasing membership, and providing more resources to its members.
