Nearly 120 Realtors and guests gathered recently to watch as the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) installed its 2016 board at the organization’s annual general meeting.
VIREB president Jason Finlayson passed the gavel to Parksville Realtor Margo Hoffman, who will serve as president in 2016. Finlayson takes on the role of past-president this year, with Janice Stromar serving as president-elect.
Returning to the board this year are Cholene Begin, Kaye Broens, Don McClintock, Sandy Rantz and Neil Woodrow.
New to the VIREB board are Marty Douglas of Re/Max Ocean Pacific Realty in Comox and Mark Clark from Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty. Douglas is a VIREB veteran, having spent several years as a director and serving as president in 1981.
Departing board members Frank Fairley and past president Blair Herbert were recognized for their dedication and service to VIREB and its members.
