Leadership development is an essential element in the process of improving our Association and profession. The Idaho Association of REALTORS® administers its “Idaho REALTORS® Leadership Academy” to identify emerging REALTOR® leaders in the state, encourage them with motivational activities, and assist in sharpening their leadership skills in the hope they will exert a strong positive influence on the future of the Association and profession.
