Thank goodness I don't have a position like Todd's, I am accustomed to participating in forums and offering "my" opinion and he has done the same over the years with his. It must be very difficult to not be "the committee" or the "association" and also not be able to be "yourself". It has to be very frustrating.

I think that many of us saw you more as the link between "us" and "them" in your new role...a new communication conduit. Perhaps that's why people felt so passionately when talking to you. I do think that your presence over at AG added a lot. Things did get edgy at times, but in the end you being there was one of the best things that could have happened as there was that sort of communication. You're in a tough position (in my opinion) as I've stated before, but I do think overall things went well. Will the outcome be as many agents wished? Only time will tell that. I hope so, if only to encourage people to get involved and work to make the changes they want in our association. I for one have been encouraged by all of this.

I kinda like them, but I am not a Realtor with an IDX feed either" Well I am a Realtor with an IDX feed and I don't just kinda like Hilary and Todd. I *really* like them. I've met then both, we've had dinner together, and they are both wicked smart, and very cool individuals. No question in my mind that they want nothing but the best for NAR members. The issue as I see it is the NAR is a big, bloated, lumbering bureaucracy. Reminds me *exactly* of my 20+ years in Fortune 100 Corporate America. And that's why it's frustrating. But it's certainly not Todd or Hilary's fault. Nor any other individual at the NAR (or state/local association). “Good job Todd and Hilary!
