I had a very interesting conversation today with Ben Martin, the new “Director of Communications and New Media” at the Virginia Association of REALTORS. Ben was one of the first people I met through Facebook. He is a really nice guy who writes a really cool blog of his own.
What makes Ben cool is not that he is a Certified Association Executive, or that he writes his own blog; what makes him cool is that he works for VAR, which means he works for me– sort of. After speaking with Ben, I can say that I am genuinely excited about what is on the horizon at VAR. Ben is trying to increase the exposure of blogging, social networking, and technology in general, to the membership. Any headway that can be made on this issue is beneficial to REALTORS and consumers alike, and it is long overdue.
Ben has some pretty cool things planned for the future, and hopefully I will be able to help him out and talk about my experiences here. Stay tuned. . .

Sounds great Dan. Next thing you know, VAR is gonna take a position on the whole carburation vs fuel injection controversy.
Of course, it’ll be even money what side they’ll take.
Enjoy your weekend, Dan.
Thanks for the plug, Daniel. Looking forward to working with you to blaze new trails.
