WHAT A DAY AT NEIR! 🙌

We started the morning yesterday by wrapping up our School Supply Drive and welcoming Cedar Valley Angels to pick up their portion of the donations. Even better, they spent some time with our Board sharing all the great work happening through their organization and the impact they’re making for local kids and families. ❤️

Then we headed to the Waterloo Convention Center for lunch and our September Fall Kickoff Member Meeting!

We elected our 2027 Officers and Directors, caught up with members, and recognized REALTOR® Safety Month with some great insight and practical safety tips from Steven Thomas with the Waterloo Police Department.

Giving back. Getting together. Looking ahead.

A pretty great day to be part of NEIR. 🔥

Thanks to everyone who helped make yesterday such a great day!
