Tired of the Same Old Fair Housing Class?
Then you won't want to miss GTAR's NEW Fair Housing: Cultural Diversity course from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Learn about the cultures that make up our local market—their values, customs, real estate needs, and expectations of real estate professionals. A panel of international guest speakers will represent the following cultures: Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Muslim, and Hispanic. The purpose of this new course is to present a picture of the changing face of the real estate industry to agents, and provide practical skills and tools to increase agents’ effectiveness in servicing all social groups. The course will address issues of diversity, fair housing, and cultural differences. OREC approved for 3 hours required FHR CE credit. Course Details and registration online at tulsarealtors.com; from the main Member Services page, click the red Education bar, then click Register for Classes. (This is GTAR’s last Fair Housing class for the year.)

If you're as excited as we are about helping start this group, take the first step and attend our initial Kick-off meeting October 27 at 3:00 p.m. in the GTAR Training Center.
