My heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation to those of you that give to Children’s Miracle Network and share my belief that we have a moral obligation to help those in need. Watch the video below and feel free to add it to your facebook pages and blogs!

At this morning’s convention opening session, RE/MAX International announced a completely redesigned youtube channel. Check it out at www.youtube.com/remax.

Congratulations RE/MAX Affiliates!

It is with great pleasure that we announce that RE/MAX agents and offices have reached an astounding $100 million in donations to Children’s Miracle Network. This is an accomplishment that every RE/MAX Affiliate can take pride in.

A sponsor since 1992, RE/MAX stands as one of only three companies to reach this milestone for Children’s Miracle Network. Because of you, thousands of children each year receive life-changing and lifesaving care at more than 170 participating Children’s Hospitals.

There will be a formal announcement of the $100 million milestone at the Opening General Session at the 2010 RE/MAX International Convention. We kindly ask that you delay promoting this news until the official announcement has been made. RE/MAX International and Children’s Miracle Network will send press releases to the appropriate media outlets to make the announcement.

Children’s Miracle Network has created a website that offers marketing resources and information related to the $100 million benchmark, which Affiliates can access at http://www.childrensmiraclenetwork.org/remax100million starting March 1st.

Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment!

The National Association of REALTORS® is contributing $550,000 to relief of victims of the Haiti earthquake, and is calling upon its 1.2 million members to help. “REALTORS® help build communities and there is no better time than now to do that in Haiti,” says NAR President Vicki Cox Golder. NAR is donating $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and another $50,000 has already been donated to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by a 2007 winner of REALTOR® Magazine’s Good Neighbor Awards, Patrick Moore. Moore’s humanitarian outreach program in Haiti supports orphans, delivers clean water, and provides medical care to more than 3,500 people a year.

Part of the NAR fund came from Lowe’s, a partner of NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program, which contributed $100,000 that was matched by NAR.

RE/MAX International CEO Margaret Kelly has been named to the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City-Denver Branch, one of three branches in the 12th district of the Federal Reserve System. Kelly joins six other board members in working with the bank, lending her insight and expertise on the regional economic front.

“It’s a great honor and privilege to serve on the Denver Board,” Kelly said after attending her first meeting. “I’m very impressed with the dedication and careful consideration all the board members bring to their position, and I’m looking forward to being a contributor.”

Kelly was chosen for her in-depth knowledge and experience in real estate, and her “on-the-ground” skills. She brings her familiarity of housing issues and challenges to the board, as well as her reputation as a well-respected industry leader. She recently was recognized by Inman News as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders in 2009, and was named one of Real Estate’s 25 Most Influential Thought Leaders by REALTOR magazine. She also is a popular source of insight on real estate trends, a frequent contributor on news programs and a respected industry speaker for groups across the U.S.

As a member of the Denver Branch Board of Directors, Kelly will provide real-time housing information and advise the bank on economic policies. She’ll serve the remainder of a three-year term that expires in December 2010. Each member of the board is allowed to complete two three-year terms. She joins such distinguished fellow Directors as Bruce K. Alexander, president and CEO of Vectra Bank, Colorado, Charles J. Brown III, president of C.H. Brown Company, and Anne Haines-Yatskowitz, president and CEO of ACCION.
