So far, nearly 100% of you (of those who have responded) agree that some sort of ongoing confirmation that ACREs are actually practicing consulting would be a good thing... at least in order to appear on the ACRE Locator map and in the search.

I agree. 

I sent out this question to my Advisory Committee yesterday, but decided to post it here as well...

One last (?) post today on what we've been up to in the back rooms of ACRE®.

Lots and lots still going on behind the scenes and I think I'm finally seeing the end zone (and not from my own 2 yard line).

This is the first of a few posts I'll be creating today updating all of you on our progress. This post is about the ACRE® designation course.

I'm almost finished (!) with the new ACRE course... (okay, so that's a slight exaggeration; there's still a lot to do but I'm making serious progress) and I'm stuck on something so simple I wonder if I'm losing it...

Sorry for the deafening silence on this end... but don't mistake that silence for inactivity! Just the opposite - we're making great strides behind the scenes.

Here is a link to an edited recording of yesterday's live teleseminar meeting. It's just over an hour long. https://d35smsbqw2z3ar.cloudfront.net/Miscellaneous%20Files/live-meeting-january-19.mp3

Thanks to everyone who made it to the show - I got a few emails from folks who tried to log in but their link was broken... ARGHGHGH! Not sure how that happened and I'm really sorry - but luckily the show was recorded and I'll be posting it later today or tomorrow.

All rightee... after much soul-searching and deliberation... I think I have a solution that will work... See what you think.

Took a little time off over the weekend from all the fun and drama here on the Exchange to step back a bit and really think about ACRE 2.0... and where we want it to go. All the feedback provided over the last several weeks has been incredibly eye-opening and helpful; hopefully as much to you as it has been to me!
