Three KCRAR members recently completed the prestigious leadership program of the Kansas Association of REALTORS®. Steve Kornspan, Sydney Lobaugh, Michael Pierce and eight other Kansas REALTORS® were part of the sixth annual class of The Right Track: Leadership in Motion from KAR.

Through The Right Track, the Kansas Association of REALTORS® seeks to identify and equip REALTOR® leaders for future leadership positions in their communities, as well as in the Association. Participation in the program is limited each year to provide REALTORS® with hands-on leadership development experience.

“Steve, Sydney, Mike and the other REALTORS® who participated in the KAR leadership academy should be commended for their commitment to bettering their communities, their local organizations, and themselves,” said Karen Gehle, CEO of the statewide association. “The entire REALTOR® Association is very proud of this group of leaders.”
