President's Perspective:

I am so excited to be at the helm of this Institute, especially at a time when we are poised to take giant strides forward.  We are forging new programs and benefits for members with much more discipline and focus than ever before. 

The 2008 National Land Conference took place in San Antonio this year and was a great success.  Over 100 members attended and the feedback we received was extremely positive.  We are already busy planning for the 2009 Land Conference, which will be held next spring in Nashville, Tennessee.

We are working, on purpose, to make great strides in all fundamental areas:  education, member benefits, and communications. 

• Education
  The centerpiece of our Institute, education will continue to take top priority, with additional courses offered at more locations, providing specialized land education that can be found nowhere else and more opportunities for land professionals to earn the ALC Designation.
   

• Member Benefits   
  We will continue to grow our member benefits so that they far exceed the expense of membership.  That means more tools, web site improvements, and efficient management of all member services.
   

• Communications
  We want to be sure you know about everything that’s available to you, and you’ll begin to see tangible evidence of the intention to upgrade the full range of our communications initiatives.

Many, many wheels are now in motion, taking us to the next level.  We represent the center of professionalism for land brokerage, and we intend to honor that responsibility...on purpose in 2008. 

 Your 2008 National President,

 Michael E. Landreth, ALC
