10:15 am-12:00 pm-Fair Housing: Reflections on the Past 50 Years, the Present and the Future
Fifty (50) years have passed since the enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act in Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. For 50 years, discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, color, national origin, and religion has been prohibited on the federal level. Over time, sex, familial status, and disability were added as protected classes. A majority of States and the District of Columbia have enacted laws that provide rights and remedies substantially equivalent to those provided under federal law. This in-depth discussion will examine the past, present, and future of housing discrimination. Topic areas include the role of real estate licensees in furthering housing discrimination, assistance animals, advertising and prohibited practices. Presenters: Mark Barker, President, and CEO of Career Education Systems; Bryan Greene, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, U.S. Dep't of Housing and Urban Development.
1:30-3:00 pm-Award Winning Ideas
Competition for the Education and Communication Awards is keen every year. Celebrate the winning jurisdictions and learn what made their ideas so special. Leadership is about sharing ideas and the award-winners have information that will be helpful to you and your jurisdiction. Presenter: Nedka Dineva-WV.
3:15-4:30-ARELLO's Distance Education Certification Program: Purpose, Process and Benefits.
This session will provide in-depth information about the standards for distance education and how they are applied to those courses seeking certification. Speakers: Dr. Mac Adkins and Dr. Michael Corry.
Saturday, September 29
10:45 am–12:15 pm- Regulators & REALTORS: PB&J vs. Oil & Water
Regulators work with many stakeholders on a daily basis, all with differing perspectives. These varying perspectives drive the relationships including those with REALTOR® Associations and Boards in your jurisdiction. How can these be leveraged to their full capacity? Are you missing opportunities to engage your licensees/registrants? This panel of industry insiders will bring a diverse and unique perspective to the conversation about REALTORS® and Regulators strategically collaborating for the betterment of the industry.

ARELLO® will incur costs if the association falls short of its minimum room block guarantee. Please help ARELLO® keep the costs of this event as low as possible by booking your housing needs at the designated host hotel and in the ARELLO® room block. Reserving outside the contracted room block may jeopardize ARELLO's ability to meet its contracted obligations and to keep registration fees to a minimum.
