Page 39 - Letter to NAR LT

Here, I must remind that’s every MREC Commissioners who are members of The Mississippi Association of Realtors, are subject to Code of Ethics protections and standards of care relating to public, unproven or false allegations either written or spoken.
The GAD must disclose any and all conversations or a summary thereof with members or the Ms Legislature or their staff or proxy which concerned the MREC to our committee. The GAD must disclose any and all conversations or a summary thereof with persons either inside or outside MAR which concerned MREC alleged abuses. The GAD must fully disclose his role in generating materials, talking points or other items and verbal references or an accurate summary thereof that MREC has in anyway violated any member’s due process rights or that member’s due process rights or that the current disciplinary hearing process has lead to harm and what research he has completed to support those actions including proof, if any of said abuses.
The LAT/EC must disclose a financial accounting of efforts made in this matter including comp hours accrued to staff resulting from SB2624 efforts.
Once the above is done, the deep division that currently exists over the unethical or perceived unethical actions of leadership will begin to heal.
The task force promised by President Thompson to thoroughly investigate this entire matter should be deployed immediately. It should not included any person who has been a party to the perceived unethical practices including in-house counsel that has opined these actions are permitted. Rather all LAT, EC and staff, including counsel should be respondents in the task force proceedings and confidentiality should be waived for their full and free participation in the matters. A request should be made to NAR for a potential attorney to staff the task force and if not available then outside counsel should be retained to staff the task force. Findings must be reported to LegReg and BOD.
If you truly want our Association to once again have a united voice, ethical conduct of leadership must be above reproach and not just meet the lowest common denominator of loopholes found in policy and procedures documents taken out of context of the larger picture of Who We R, that is found in our Bylaws, our Code of Ethics, and overall commitment to consensus building, win-win leadership.
Finally, it would be reassuring if the Association Leaders would explain their own actions and the named Parliamentarian of meetings announce their own parliamentary conclusions instead of Association Counsel doing both. In all my years on the National Association of Realtors committees, Board of Directors, EC and Extended Leadership Team I do not recall hearing as much from the NAR General Counsel as I have heard on SB2624. The Attorney is not a member of our committees. Those leading are surely capable of speaking for themselves.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Judy Glenn
