19 of 72 Report Chief Executive Officer: Nancy Donahue Jones Reports to: HAWAI‘I REALTORS® Board of Directors Information Group: Board Leadership Team of Hawai‘i REALTORS® Date: July 23, 2020
I am presenting two action items for your consideration along with an update on various items.
Action Items –
Action 1:
• Per the HAWAI’I REALTORS® Policy Statement Manual – BOARD, Policy Statement 30.00102 reads as follows:
Budget Approval Prior to August 1 of each fiscal year, the CEO, in consultation with the Board Leadership Team, shall prepare and submit to the Board of Directors for its approval or modification, a budget for the next succeeding fiscal year.
The CEO shall not cause or allow financial planning for any fiscal year or the remaining part of any fiscal year to deviate materially from the Board’s Strategic Priorities and risk financial jeopardy.
Accordingly, the CEO shall not:
1. Risk incurring those situations or conditions described as unacceptable in HAR’s Policy Statement Manual – Financial. 2. Omit credible projections of revenues and expenses, separation of capital and operations items, cash flow, and the disclosure of planning assumptions.
Based on this policy statement, the Leadership Team and I recommend to the Board of Directors the following action that should be made at the July 23rd meeting.
Postpone the approval of the 2021 Budget until the September 24, 2020 Board of Directors meeting
Background: The Leadership Team and I after discussion, are recommending approval to postpone this item so that the Budget and the revised Strategic Plan can be presented together. In the past, the Strategic Plan was often approved after the annual budget was approved causing the budget to be out of step with the plan. The Strategic Plan should always work hand in hand with the Budget so that the association can move forward with the necessary resources in the areas that are considered priorities.
Action 2:
• Per the HAWAI’I REALTORS® Policy Statement Manual – BOARD, Policy Statement 30.00100 reads as follows:
Setting the Annual Dues Amount The amount of the annual dues for each class of membership shall be approved by the Board of Directors no later than August 1 of the immediately preceding year.
Based on this policy statement, the Board of Directors have two options that should be considered at the July 23rd meeting. 20 of 72
Option 1 – Set the dues amount at its current amount of $225 for the calendar year of 2021
Option 2 – Postpone the approval of the dues amount for the calendar year of 2021 until the September 24, 2020 Board of Directors meeting
Background – this policy statement was established with this specific deadline date due to the fiscal year of the REALTORS® Association of Maui which bills membership dues in August/September for October through September time frame. This avoids the possibility of having to bill twice by a local board whose billing cycle is different than the state association.
CEO recommends – the annual dues for HAWAI’I REALTORS® should remain at $225 for 2021.
Report Items –
• As of July 14, 2020, HAR has hosted nine virtual sessions on a variety of topics from legal and economic updates, business tools and cyber security. We had more than 2500 members register for these sessions and over 2100 YouTube views of these sessions. We continue to plan more virtual information sessions for our members throughout the balance of 2020. (With so much of our world in a digital environment, I hope you had a chance to watch our recent session on Cyber Security. What a reality check!)
• HAR has contracted with Lee Grossman to be our facilitator/consultant for the revision to our Strategic Plan. You may recognize Mr. Grossman’s name as he was our consultant for our recent Governance restructure that took place in 2019. As of this message, Lee has met with the members of the Strategic Planning Task Force as well as the Board of Directors and is meeting now with members of HAR’s designated staff. In our effort to be as transparent as possible with this process in a virtual world, we will be providing an update to the Board of Directors on July 30th at 10:00 a.m. The final revision of the plan will be presented to the Board of Directors at the September meeting. We will also be providing you with periodic updates between July and September.
• Membership numbers for the year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic were promising. At the end of the 2nd quarter, paid membership was at 9931 with 489 new members. (HAWAI’I REALTORS® tracks new members by the number of application fees paid).
For comparison of new members from 2019 to 2020:
2019 2020 January 146 76 February 181 117 March 202 95 April 85 45 May 109 53 June 181 103
Total: 904 489
We should continue to see changes to the membership for the rest of the year. As a trade association, HAWAI’I REALTORS® and the local Boards are unique in that they have received their REALTOR® dues money for the year already. The challenge for all will be in the prediction of membership for the 2021 budget cycle and beyond.
• As you may be aware, the PPP (or better known as the Paycheck Protection Act) is also available for non-profit organizations. Non-profits that have an IRS code of 501©3 and 501©19 (Veteran’s Group) are eligibly to apply. All other non-profits like 501©6 organizations are not. HAR is a 501©6 and is not eligible to receive these funds. 21 of 72 Many associations across the country including NAR and ASAE (American Society of Association Executives) are working hard to have this segment of the non-profit community included in the next Congressional Legislative Package. HAR together with other non-profits in Hawai’i have signed letters to our Congressional delegation urging them to include this segment of the non-profit community.
• As of this report, HAR has received two secondary memberships or direct memberships from two brokers. Both brokers completed a detailed application, submitted current letters of good standing from their primary associations as well as current broker’s license from the State of Hawai’i. They are:
. Brad Letourneau, He’e Nalu Properties . Gary S. Roberts, Island Style Properties
• Treasurer Julie Meier and I will be presenting a revised mid-year 2020 budget to the Board at July meeting with the focus on reallocating resources from unused program areas due to COVID-19 into other areas of the association. Both the Treasurer and I felt this was important because with the reduction in revenue, there must a reduction in expenses.
• The 2020 REALTOR® of the Year for HAWAI’I REALTORS® will be announced via a special live presentation on July 31st. You don’t want to miss this event and the special recognition awarded to one of our outstanding members. The event will be live but we aren’t telling you where it will be held….you’ve got to watch to find out. While under normal circumstances, we would recognize our ROTY in a meeting, we will be coming up with alternative ways in which to recognize this individual. 😊😊
• NAR was seeking members to volunteer for their committees for 2021. The deadline to submit an application plus all applicable endorsements was June 1, 2020. Members appointed to NAR Committees for 2021, should be notified by NAR in late September/early October. Congratulations to our own Shannon King, who will be serving as one of the Vice Presidents at NAR in 2022 under the leadership of NAR President, Leslie Rouda Smith (Texas).
• Due to ongoing impacts from COVID-19 across the country, NAR has cancelled their face to face events in August (Leadership Summit Week) and in November (Annual Meeting & Conference in New Orleans). Both events will be held in a virtual format similar to the RLM in May. The virtual formats have been well received as attendance was much higher for the RLM and many members indicated that they were able to attend more meetings and sessions without the expense of travel. In addition, just announced by Charlie Oppler (NAR’s PE for 2020), NAR’s Leadership Summit will be held August 17, 18 & 19. Each day the sessions will be three hours and will cover a variety of topics. The great news about this format (besides no travel) is that the session usually open to only the AE and the incoming Presidents, will now be open to all “elected” officers of the association. The key words are “elected” and “officers”. This event will not be open to the general membership. Registration will open in early August. Local Board AEs should be receiving information in the near future about how to register and who is eligible to register.
• HAWAI’I REALTORS® has learned that the REALTOR® Leadership Program (Series 100, 200, 300 & 400) will no longer be offered by NAR as their licensing agreement for the program with CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association) will end as of August 31st. NAR is working on a new Leadership Program and it should be available for pilot testing in October. This will be good news for Hawai’i as I have volunteered our state to be one of the first to test this program in a 100% virtual environment. More details to follow once we learn more.
• As of today, I have attended more than 200 virtual meetings via platforms like Zoom, WebEx and Go To Meetings since we began to remote work in March. These virtual meetings include staff, AE and NAR check-ins, LT meetings, individual staff discussions, committee meetings and vendor meetings to just name a few. In addition, I’ve attended education sessions and events with NAR, ASAE, the Chamber and various local groups including HEA and HSBP. Everyone is Zooming! While I do miss much of the face to face interaction that can come from 22 of 72 these meetings and events, we have shown as a community, that we can get the work done in a virtual environment. I think that this will have an impact on our ways of doing business both personally and professionally in the future. It has been a great way to stay connected with people across town, across our state, across the country and even with our friends and colleagues in Guam. I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to all of the local Association Executives and their staff, for almost instantly changing the way they do their normal operations. They are doing a great job and all of their efforts including those that have been a bit more challenging, have been greatly appreciated. More importantly, the more that they continue to find new and innovative ways in which to do the business for our members, the better. HAWAI’I REALTORS® continues to hosts a weekly check in for all of the AEs to share island specific information and discuss any issues.
• On July 15th, both First Vice President Kelly Liberatore and I had the opportunity to attend a special edition of ASAE’s CEO Symposium for Chief Staff Executives & Chief Elected Officers. Normally, this program is offered only in a F2F environment but through the direction of the Center for Association Leadership, they contracted with the Tecker International Group who rewrote the program for a one-day virtual environment. Topics discussed were: Addressing Essential Decisions, Short-term and Adaptive Strategy & Leadership Strategy.
I would again like to extend my personal thanks and appreciation to the HAWAI’I REALTORS® Leadership Team. They continue to add insight & perspective to our questions, participated in meetings at the last minute and provided support when needed. I would also like to thank the many members who continue to volunteer for HAWAI’I REALTORS®. With little effort, you quickly adapted to a virtual world. Without your efforts and your dedication to this industry, we could not function and move HAWAI’I REALTORS® forward.
I would also like to extend my personal thanks and appreciation to the staff of HAWAI’I REALTORS®. We continue to describe our team of 11 as small but mighty. Never has this been truer. They continue to amaze me. They look for new solutions to some new and old problems. They collaborate with one another via technology. They seek knowledge and information and don’t hesitate to share what they learn. They laugh with one another and consistently remind one another that we’re all in this together. While a team can work well in the best circumstances, a true test of the team is how they react under challenging or unusual circumstances.
I would also like to extend my thanks and appreciate to my industry colleagues, our local Association Executives. They continue to work every day, adjusting when and were needed to meet the needs of our members. We have some of our industry’s best here in Hawai’i and I hope that you take a few moments when possible, to extend your thanks and appreciation. A special thank you to David Belew, CSE at the REALTORS® Association of Maui until July 15th. David has accepted a position as the CEO with Upstate Alliance REALTORS® in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Amy Johnson, RAM’s Director of Professional Standards & Board Relations will serve as the Interim CSE until a new CSE is named.
"Unprecedented" is a term we continue to use to describe the current COVID-19 pandemic and the long road to recovery. This crisis is truly unlike any we have experienced before.” Words from a community leader and no truer words have ever been spoken. Things continue to change on a daily basis. Just as you think you have mastered new processes; things change and we (all of us) continue to adjust. While today we have no immediate answers, we have no crystal balls laying out the future for us, we simply have each other and together we will continue to get through this.
As always, should you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Continue to be well. Stay safe. Be kind.
Nancy

In 2012, NAR created a new program to help fund State and Locals with independent expenditures. The NAR State and Local Independent Expenditure Program provides each state with funds that they can use to support candidates for political office who support REALTORS® and the real estate industry.
An Independent Expenditure must be without any coordination with a candidate’s campaign. The steering committee was formed to ensure that no staff member or volunteer leader in the association has suggested, cooperated with, consulted, or received a request or suggestion from a candidate, or a candidate’s authorized representatives, agents, or campaign personnel, or the candidate’s political party, regarding an independent expenditure by the State Association or Local Board in support of the candidate.

Tricia Nekota ABR, BPOR, CRS, MRP, SRES President’s Report | July 2020 2020 HBR President
President’s Message Statistics. June 2020
In the last few months, we all have had to shift our mindset and adapt to many changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought our world as we knew it to a halt. Change is often uncomfortable and challenging, but it also encourages us to be bold and brave.
Each year, I pick a word that provides focus and reminds me of how I should feel or what I need to do to accomplish my goals. My word for this year is brave. When I selected this word last year, I had no idea how meaningful my intention would become in 2020.
REALTORS® geared up and went into action despite Statistics the uncertainty and the challenges that were waiting
ahead. They became the resources, the shoulder to Membership cry on, the empathetic ear, the problem solver, and the person who gave hope in time of despair. As of June 2020, the HBR membership reflects: REALTORS have supported each other, their clients, and their communities. These are all acts of bravery. . 6,391 R/RA members and 242 Affiliates for a total of 6,633 members. This represents a 0.7% At our Virtual Summer General Membership increase over the same period last year.
Meeting, we honored the many heroes who are central to our daily lives but often go unnoticed. We celebrated health care workers, educators, first Virtual Regional Town Hall Meetings
responders, frontline workers, our dedicated sponsors, and (my favorite) REALTORS®.
REALTORS® do what we do for the betterment of others. What we do every day – no matter how small – makes a difference in our clients’ lives and our communities' health. Let’s continue to be brave enough to learn, and try new things and illuminate who we are and the path toward a brighter future for In May 2020, HBR hosted several Virtual Regional Hawai‘i.

Virtual GMM sessions offered helpful and timely information. Topics included: technology, social media, PPP/EIDL, cyber security, economic recovery, lending, property management and tenant assistance, and sustaining your business. GMM culminated with innovation keynote speaker Duncan Wardle, former Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney.
HBR Survey: Rentals and Property Management
HBR conducted a Flash Survey: Rentals and Property Management from June 17- 22. 186 useable responses were received from HBR members.
Survey found that 37% of tenants were not able to pay rent in the month of June because of the COVID-19 pandemic, while more than 40% said they had tenants who asked for a payment plan or for a discount or rent reduction. Survey also found that 45% of tenants will not be able to pay rent for the month of July.
REALTOR® respondents were also given the opportunity to highlight any other issues they’ve experienced with tenants, owners, or rental assistance due to COVID-19.

Aloha HAR Leadership Team:
Working in what is perceived as the “New Normal” in class delivery and meeting participation has changed from in person to virtual methods. The monitoring of CE participation is a huge challenge, the larger the class the harder it is to monitor.
KBR offered the very first Core B course with instructor Kimo Stone titled “Principal Brokers: The Buck Stops Here”. To hear Kimo comment that “it was the most difficult course to present” was a shocker. Members were confused with the title Principal Brokers and not sure why they had to be there. We will continue to schedule CE courses via Zoom for the remainder of the year.
We have invited Dr. Chip Fletcher, Dean at the University of Hawaii as our guest speaker on Tuesday, August 11th starting 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. on “Climate Change: You Haven’t Been Told the Real Story”. Topics will include the “greenhouse effect; food chain; water crisis; global military concerns; and creating a life boat community in Hawaii”.
KBR has partnered with Kukui Grove Shopping Center and other businesses to provide financial support to purchase School Supplies for needy families especially in light of COVID-19.
KBR has been actively working with a group comprised of developers, contractors, planners, etc. over a period of 6 weeks to provide suggestions to the County Council Housing & Intergovernmental Relations on proposed amendments to the Housing Policy. KBR requested a land use initiative review in March, where we provided testimony requesting the council meet with the developers. We subsequently submitted testimony in April, May and June. We have reached out to the Chair to meet with KBR and its partners on several occasions with no acknowledgement until yesterday when they asked for the list of the workgroup individuals.
KBR Long Term Property Managers have been meeting to discuss the effects of Covid-19 and the loss of jobs. The KBR sent a memo to the County Director of Finance regarding the potential of loss revenue due to job loss. The County Council voted to waive the late fees for the payment of real property taxes through October. The Property managers are concerned that the eviction moratorium on non-payment of rent, will put an extreme burden on property owners where tenants who can pay their rents are not.
KBR has implemented discussions with the KBR TVR committee and the County Planning Department Director, Ka’aina Hull on the reopening of tourism on August 1st. That date may change again as Kauai’s Mayor Derek Kawakami has announced that he does not feel the island is ready.
