REINSW President's desk

  Christian Payne – elected 25 November 2011

Christian Payne joined REINSW in 1992 to be part of an organisation he believed promoted excellence in members and shared his values about professional and ethical conduct.

He was elected to the Board of Directors in 2001 and became Deputy President in 2007.

In November 2011, he was elected REINSW President and his goal during his term is to further strengthen REINSW’s reputation for professional excellence and keep membership relevant for agents. With his passion for political lobbying, Christian is keen to be the voice of members and ensure their interests remain on the Government’s agenda. 
 
He is also a member of the management committee of the Real Estate Employers' Federation (NSW) and serves on the NSW Government's Planning Implementation Advisory Committee.

President's message

The spirit of giving in your community

The focus in this month’s edition of the Journal is the spirit of giving. The benefits of pulling your team together to give back to your community, to charity or society at large are numerous.

Plain and simple: giving back is good for the soul. There is an inherent feel-good factor associated with giving time, effort and often money to those in need.

From my experience, the sharing of such positive emotions with workmates helps builds a strong sense of camaraderie that continues once back in the office.

In addition, your team may learn new skills. They will most certainly meet new people — and potential clients or referral sources — and will likely come away with a sense of achievement.

For a business, incentives for giving back can also include positive brand marketing and recommendations.

Receiving funds or help to complete projects that would otherwise be unachievable for them, means that communities and charities are able to continue in their endeavours through the spirit of giving.

If you haven’t already, consider how your business could give back.


Novice auctioneers

In the coming months, REINSW will once again be holding the annual Novice Auctioneers Competition.

Many of our former novice auctioneers have gone on to great things.

In the spirit of this month’s charity-focused issue, the event raises significant funds for our charity of choice, St Vincent de Paul, along with local charities nominated by each Division organiser. Find out how you can get involved in the competition, and other ways you can help Vinnies by reading this month’s cover feature.


Awards for Excellence

Entries open this month for the 2013 REINSW Awards for Excellence. By shining the spotlight on performance, creative initiative and successes, the application process encourages members to reflect on their most outstanding qualities and achievements. Winners will be judged across 17 categories, for their skill, knowledge and innovation.

Visit our website at www.reinsw.com.au/2013Awards for more information.
