Chapter Financial Position

We have zero cash in the banks
We are in need of new leadership and funding to continue operations
Chapter Financial Position
10
To date I have been personally covering the expenses for the chapter which cannot continue
Nor have I been in position to be effective as the President without leadership support.
We need board members and leaders.
Corporation Status
Corporation Status
12
The chapter formed in 2010 as the Orange County Association of Real Estate Brokers
We have not completed our 501 c6
We are changing direction and moving our status from a 501 c6 to 501 c3
Reduce the burden of the state fees and to better position ourselves for community engagement as non profit Realtist organization
Sustainability
Sustainability
14
Building a Financially Sustainable Chapter is our challenge
In my 4 years as President I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly
We have tried fee based education but the competition with other well financed associations is too challenging
Sustainability
15
We have tried corporate sponsorships but the expectations are too high. Especially when constantly being compared to NAHREP and AREAA
We have tried Mixers, Golf tournaments, Gala’s and they have never been profitable
Sustainability
16
Are there more things we can try? Of course there are
We are not lacking ideas
We are not lacking the Mission or Vision of NAREB
We are lacking the grassroots connection with the community
We are lacking the Movement!
Sustainability
17
We are lacking identity
We are lacking relevance
And we are lacking people who want to be leaders
We are lacking the movement!
Sustainability
18
Sustainability means Visibility
Who are we?
We are not on TV
We are not in the News
We are not known our own community
Where are we?
We are lacking the movement!
Sustainability
19
Where is the movement?
At the Church
We need to get back to the Church and start the movement to homeownership!
Sustainability & Growth
Sustainability & Growth
21
Here is our strategy to achieve sustainability and growth as a NAREB chapter:
Increase membership dues to a level that will make us independent and not dependant on handouts from the financial sector
Not being dependant on the banks makes us better advocates for reforms in lending and banking to supports the needs of the community
Sustainability & Growth
22
Increase our brand in our communities by forming real alliances with churches and non-profit organizations who need our expertise
We are a 67 year old institution and the real estate experts in the African American community
We are to Real Estate what the Civil Rights Movement is to the NAACP and we need to own it
Sustainability & Growth
23
Strengthen our value proposition as an organization by being more engage with our members to understand the needs of their business and connect them with experts and leaders in NAREB who desire to serve as mentors
Sustainability & Growth
24
Invest our money and time in technology, call centers, and other means to drive business opportunities to our members by serving and engaging the community
Be more selective on who we allow to join the organization
Sustainability & Growth
25
NAREB is not an organization you try out like a club.
It is a movement that begin in 1947 that was a call to action to African American in a racist and segregated country. NAREB is an ad-vocation. It is not designation or certification.
It is the destination for Democracy in Housing in a never ending journey that finds itself in the rented homes of African Americans across the country who desire to achieve the dream of home-ownership.
Sustainability & Growth
26
It is fraternity of serious real estate professionals who understand our history as people and desire to work in the African American Community
NAREB and the Realtist Brand is not for everybody but it is for anybody who is committed to community service.
27
Changing Direction
Changing Direction
28
Community First – the profession of Real Estate Second
NAREB started in churches in 1947. That is our history and foundation of what a Realtist is all about
Our focus has been on Real Estate Agent Education since the beginning of our chapter and in the process of meeting those needs we have neglected the community and our community leaders. This changes now.
Changing Direction
29
We are forming alliances with churches and African American Nonprofit organizations
We want to be their official resource for any real estate related need in the community
Changing Direction
30
We are working with the OC NAACP, OC Black Chamber, Black fraternities and Networking organization in the OC to be their resource for real estate information and assistance
Changing Direction
31
We are going online for everything
All of our meeting will be accessible online and recorded
We will conduct online networking meeting for agents and the community to conduct business.
We will conduct online real estate marketing sessions to promote homeownership to the community and foster among Realtist
