RHODE ISLAND ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting includes our financial review for the previous year, review of the minutes from the previous annual meeting, includes a vote on any proposed by-law changes, acknowledges all of the volunteers who have served in leadership and committee positions for the year, and also serves as the venue for the installation of officers for the new year.the annual program (mini convention) is an all-day event that includes speakers (some paid and some volunteer) who speak about current issues and trends, technology and other business related topics. The event includes a buffet lunch, and a small trade show area. The association gets sponsorship money from affiliate members, and also charges a fee for an exhibitor booth for the trade show. Most of the trade show booths are purchased by companies that are directly involved with the real-estate business. There is no charge to our membership to attend this information day. Although it is not a money maker, it is a huge membership benefit which the realtors and vendors appreciate.
