Greetings, and Happy New Year. WOW, what a year-end NPAworldwide had! Brokerage up 79% in December against monthly goal and up 29% against YTD goal. Job Board up 89% against December monthly goal and up 57% against YTD goal. Also, I want to do a special shout out to our Recruiter of the Month (December), Steve Kohn from Affinity Executive Search (#2043) with 5 placements.

Congrats, NPAworldwide for a great 2022!!!

REMINDERS:

The Annual Meeting is a SEPARATE event from the Global Conference. It is happening on Thursday, March 2 at 7PM US ET. The Annual Meeting is a virtual event for owners and managers, only. This is a great opportunity to observe and participate in  NPAworldwide governance. I encourage all Owner/Managers to attend—this is your member-owned network.

The Global Conference is an in-person event in Atlanta (May 4-6) for owners, managers and recruiters. Rooms are filling fast at NPA's great rate at the JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead. If you are planning to attend, make your hotel reservation ASAP.

ADDITIONAL INFO REGARDING THE ANNUAL MEETING 

  • Tickets are free and we’ve done our best to select a time that allows as many firms as possible to attend. Register here: https://members.npaworldwide.com/events/2023-annual-meeting/
  • For those who are unable to attend, please submit your proxy in advance of the February 20 deadline (proxy info will be distributed this week) – it takes 2-3 minutes and ensures that your vote will  be cast in accordance with your wishes
  • This year, owners will be voting on two proposed bylaws amendments in addition to the election of officers and directors
  • There will also be an Open Forum Q&A, which is a great opportunity for owners to ask questions of their elected representatives or share feedback and ideas about NPAworldwide
