Luke Jeffries, who serves as the Assistant Association Executive for the Southwestern Michigan Association of Realtors is headed into the New Year with a major new industry recognition that places him in a league of his own.
Jeffries has been honored by the National Association of Realtors with their Realtor Association Certified Executive designation, recognizing his exceptional efforts on behalf of the association.
Luke Jeffries is one of over 500 Realtor association executives nationally, but one of only 15 in the state of Michigan who have achieved that mark of excellence. Local and state association executives who hold the RCE designation represent Realtors in 49 states and territories.
Jeffries responded to the designation, saying, “This is truly an honor, and I am very proud to be receiving this designation. It is a high point in my career of association management.”
Prior to becoming a candidate for the RCE designation, applicants must document their association management and academic experiences. Once they have completed that first step, eligible candidates must successfully complete an exam based on a comprehensive understanding of association operations and management practices. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of areas critical to Realtor association management, including association law, governance, and issues related to member services. To retain the designation, RCEs must be re-certified every four years.
Jeffries will receive an award plaque from representatives of the Michigan Realtors during an upcoming event.
