1. Do you see this proposed mentoring program as voluntary or mandatory?
2. You commingle VREB and the Realtor organizations in this proposal. Who would be responsible for implementing this? The Realtor organizations, VREB, or someone else?

Years ago the military implemented Total Quality Management (TQM). We discovered that if you don’t have buy in from the top, it doesn’t get done.

In the ongoing attempt to improve our profession, Mentoring, following a much improved and beefed up pre-licensing requirement, should be mandatory.

For a Mentoring program to work iniformly, it needs to be driven top down, and standardized. If not, who’ll make sure it is getting done, and without uniformity, whose version will be used? And, if we ever get to measuring performance, what will performance be meaasured against if we aren’t using a standardized program?

Brokers need to be held accountable for implementing it. Implementation is always done best at the lowest level with coordination and guidelines from VREB & VAR.
The guidelines need to much like those for prelicensing – standards that must be accomplished before a licensee can practice on their own.

Thanks – hope all is well in the Kingdom.
