By Jacque Stanly
Chief Executive Officer
It seems like just yesterday
that I walked into the offices
of the Orlando-Winter Park
Board of REALTORS® and
interviewed for a job in the
administration department.
That was in 1977 and, needless
to say, the real estate industry
in general and technology in
particular have undergone
many changes during the 40
years since then.
As I plan for my December
retirement, I am remembering
the MLS print-out books that
were distributed every Tuesday;
the mimeograph machines that
made our copies; printing out
our newsletters and stuffing
them by hand; and looking up
members on Rolodex files (no
computers at that time!).
There is one important facet
of my time with the REALTOR®
organization that has not
changed, and that’s REALTORS®.
I could not have chosen a
career that provided me with
more opportunities to work
with such wonderful people.
The friends I have made will
always remain close. I keep
with me 40 wonderful past
presidents who were an honor
to work with, and a fantastic
past and present staff of professionals
who are the backbone
of ORRA.
I like to think that with social
media as it is today, I will never
be far away. So, it is with mixed
feelings that I go on to the next
chapter in my life and leave
ORRA to prosper and move
forward, with the hopes that I
played a small part in its evolution
to greatness.
A lifetime of REALTOR® memories…
