Joint CCIM/SIOR Education Day held March 20 at the New Haven Real Estate School Sponsored by Connecticut Community Investment Corporation

Instructor Eugene Marconi, Connecticut Association of Realtors legal counsel, was the morning speaker on Ethics which were requirements for SIOR and applicable to CCIMs. The Chapters really appreciated Marconi as the speaker. The audience was full of top producers in the industry. Class was worth attending to enhance relationships.
