Twelve Kansas REALTORS® recently completed the prestigious leadership program of the Kansas Association of REALTORS®. The REALTORS®, who represented all corners of the state, were part of the second annual class of The Right Track: Leadership In Motion.
Through The Right Track, the Kansas Association of REALTORS® seeks to identify and equip REALTOR® leaders for future leadership positions in their communities, as well as in the Association. Participation in the program is limited to 12 REALTORS® annually.
