Virginia Realtors® Leadership Academy
Inspiring and preparing Virginia Realtors® for community leadership
VAR challenges Realtors® to invest in themselves and their associations by participating in the Virginia Realtors® Leadership Academy. Through this program, VAR identifies and trains emerging Realtors® leaders from all around the Commonwealth. Approximately 20 applicants are accepted each year, and each class of participants builds their leadership skills through a series of retreats and a major class project. Graduates are groomed to take on leadership positions in their local associations, at VAR, or in other organizations.
Not only do the participants develop strong leadership skills to put to use in their communities and professional lives, they also nurture strong relationships with their class members that turn into rewarding business and personal connections.
