Building the Best Leaders for the Benefit of Texas REALTORS®

The Texas REALTORS® Leadership Program (TRLP) provides an innovative and flexible learning experience that focuses on leadership development in the context of a learning community. Core values of the Texas REALTORS® Leadership Program include community, service, integrity, and commitment.

“The TRLP mission is to cultivate leaders from all segments of the community by educating, developing, and encouraging participants to undertake leadership roles, providing them the means and resources to begin their involvement, and instructing them on how to utilize these assets to impact change and make a difference in their respective professional, personal, and civic areas of interest.”

TRLP cultivates leaders across the state by educating them about leadership roles and the process to begin their involvement. Further, it helps build and strengthen key leadership skills to effect change and make a difference in both professional and personal areas of interest. In short, the purpose of TRLP is to prepare the next generation of Texas REALTORS® to meet future challenges.

The Texas REALTORS® Leadership Program includes seminars, guest speakers, group discussions, and leadership exercises that address vital issues affecting Texas REALTORS®. The format promotes discussion and involvement by all participants.
