This year, as we celebrate our centennial, we have had the
opportunity to look back on our years of service, on the evolution of the real
estate industry, on economic development, neighborhood development and the
overall growth of our region. Through
this blog, we have reflected on our achievements, on the challenges we have
faced and on the role we have played in our communities.
However, we aren’t just looking back this year – we’re also
looking forward. What will the next 10, 50 and 100 years bring? What will our
role be as our region continues to grow and change?
A few days ago we launched the MIBOR Membership Survey,
which is conducted twice a year and provides valuable member feedback on the
services provided to members. We use the results to evaluate performance and
guide resource allocation for each budget cycle. For the current survey period,
we have streamlined the questions and have for the first time we’ve included
questions about an important and timely issue – public education. The questions
are focused on member opinions related to public education and MIBOR’s role in
advocating in this area. We know that education is critically important to your
customers and their housing decisions, and we are eager to know your thoughts.
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to take the time to
fill out the membership survey, which has already been sent to your inbox.
We also welcome you to share your thoughts by posting a
comment on this blog. Below are two of the questions that are included in the
survey.

The future of public education in Indiana is important to everyone in our community.
ReplyDeleteReal Estate professionals have their ears to the ground and keep up with important issues. As buyers focus on location, the most important consideration is often the quality of public schools or availability of good, affordable private schools.
We need to be involved in the dialogue about the future of public education -- as a voice for our communities, because we understand the impact public education has on our industry.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Trixie!
