1-day a month for four months! The GAAR Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a dynamic initiative designed to inspire and shape the next generation of leaders within GAAR, the real estate sector, and the local community. This transformative program offered biennially, equips participants with essential leadership skills and strategies and is open exclusively to GAAR and Affiliate Members.
The training begins in November 2024, spans four months, and consists of intensive modules, including "Know Your Why," communication skills, performance excellence, conflict resolution, and adapting to change. In addition to the modules, participants will be required to attend one additional On-Your-Own activity each month from a list of approved events, such as a GAAR or SWMLS Board of Director Meeting, etc.,
