GTAR YPN Chapter Start-Up
Young professionals are the future of the real estate business. But in a field where the average age is 52, younger real estate practitioners often struggle for a way to connect with each other and tap into valuable resources that will help them succeed in business. The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a member-driven organization that helps young real estate professionals excel in their careers by giving them the tools and encouragement to become involved. 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. There is no cost to attend but an RSVP would be appreciated—email education@tulsarealtors.com or call 663-7500.
