REALTOR® Book Club Discussion Series
Wednesday, January 13th | 10-11am | Live virtual
The Bridge Committee of GHAR is hosting a Realtor Book Club Discussion Series. The first book will be "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism" by Author Robin Diangelo.

This book is an exciting read that explores the preservation of modern racism in our culture. The discussions will offer a safe space for a positive and constructive dialogue that will hopefully help combat racism in our communities and industry. This book will be covered in 4 sections. This is the first 2 meetings with the next one on January 27th.

Get your copy today (local bookstores are encouraged!) and be ready to participate in the first discussion.

Discussion leaders: Cindy Butts, Deanna Crooks, Leslie Hammond, and Shanyelle Young

Safety Reminder for Real Estate Professionals
Recently, a few GHAR members received a suspicious text message stating: “Are you still in the office” from phone numbers they didn’t recognize. This is a reminder to never give out personal information on your location to people you don’t know and report any suspicions activity to the local police department, use Forewarn, etc. 
GHAR Professional Courtesy Series
The Professional Standards Committee of GHAR has developed a series of Professional Courtesies to remind members that subtle details are important. 

"Do not prospect at other REALTORS' open houses or similar events."
