and recognize our past leaders!

Discover how YOU can join the Team

(hint: it starts with committee participation - the true heart of the Association)!

 

CBR's Public Relations Committee wants to help you realize your membership benefits in a fun way.......a virtual scavenger adventure!  Weekly clues will be given through December.  The clues will take you on an adventure to hunt for the answer that relates to a REALTOR® Association member benefit.  You'll email your answers to cbr@cheyennerealtors.com to be entered into a prize drawing for $360 (the cost of your local dues).  One entry per person per week, unless there is a chance for a BONUS entry.

 

Clue #1:  Take a selfie with a member of the 2024 or 2025 CBR Leadership Team (BONUS entry option:  take your selfie with a member of the Leadership Team who is NOT in the same office as you and you'll be entered 2x in the drawing).  Answers must be submitted by Friday, October 25, 2024.  HINT:  attending the Leadership Celebration on October 23rd would be a GREAT place to take your selfie!

 
4 Wyoming Political Action Committee  started a direct-mail campaign to Wyoming residents asking voters to vote YES on Constitutional Amendment A.
The adoption of this amendment is simple:   separate residential property into its own class for property tax assessments. The amendment would authorize the legislature to create a subclass of owner-occupied primary residences.  Creating another class of property does not raise taxes, but it does give the Legislature a tool to relieve Wyoming resident's property taxes.   Please visit 4WyomingPac.org to learn more about the Constitutional Amendment before voting on November 5th.
 

Don’t forget......all REALTOR® members (yes, appraisers are REALTORS® too!) must complete at least 2.5 hours of training on the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics.  There's still time & opportunities to fulfill your training requirement:   

  • #1 - November 19th, 9 am - 4 pm -- Ethics with Paul Wells - 6 hours continuing education AND it satisfies NAR's membership requirement PLUS qualifies you to sit on Grievance and Pro Standards Hearings.  Registration opens Oct 18th
  • #2 - Online FREE training from NAR -- no CE credits given, but does satisfy NAR's membership requirement.
  • #3 - Various online courses at The CE Shop -- there's a cost for the classes, most qualify for ce credits for your license, and they do meet NAR's membership requirement.
  • #4 - Online classes from McKissock LearningThere is a cost for the classes, most qualify for ce credits for your license, and they do meet NAR's membership requirement.
  • Before taking any other on-line course, please contact the CBR office to be certain they meet NAR's membership requirement.

If you've already completed a course, please let us know which Ethics course you completed by emailing us your certificate of completion.  Can't remember if you've completed your training?  Contact us to see if your membership requirement has been met!

Professional Development Committee

Veteran's Resources

Friday, Nov 15th, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Little America

$30 per person

Join us to learn about the available resources to our active military and veterans in Cheyenne -- a must-attend event for any REALTOR® working with military personnel who are locating to Cheyenne.

 

We're not asking you to stand in the cold and Ring the Bell, we're not asking you to make a Gingerbread House, and we're not asking you to dance in a flash mob (although all of those activities were fun) -- we are asking you to Party with the PR Committee!

 

Meet, Mingle, and watch the WY Cowboys take on the CSU Rams, Friday, November 15th, 6 pm @ the CBR Office.  

 

It's a Wyoming Cowboys Football Watch Party where PR committee members will serve Red, Green & White chilis (we didn't think brown & gold would be visually appealing in food prep) & all the fixin's.  We'll have door prizes too!

 

You just bring your favorite beverage and maybe a comfortable chair.....weather permitting, it may be a tailgate party.  $30 per person with all funds donated to the Salvation Army.
