I’m very proud to support Vicki Cox Golder for the office of president of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® in 2010. I’ve known Vicki for over 15 years and have always been impressed with her knowledge of and dedication to our association. Having served on various committees with Vicki, I can assure you she is a hands-on leader who can bring people together to best serve the REALTORS® of America. 

Before Vicki can bring her great talents to the leadership of NAR, she must be elected First Vice President in 2008. That’s where you can help. We need you to:

  • Introduce Vicki to every director from your region.

  • Invite Vicki to your state and regional meetings.

  • Recruit key members of your region to support Vicki.

  • Get your state association to express their support for Vicki.

  • Obtain your region's endorsement for Vicki at the appropriate time.

Please get involved and help elect Vicki. If you do, I’m sure you’ll look back on the decision to help elect her with great pride. You will have helped insure a truly great leader for the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.  I invite you to take a moment and read what some others are saying about Vicki in making their endorsements...  (click here to offer your comments and/or support)

Vicki does her homework!  Her knowledge of REALTOR® issues comes from her service on a multitude of committees and her involvement as a leader at the local, state and national levels.  She is a popular choice for 2008 First Vice President because of her welcoming presence and her inclusiveness.  It is obvious that she cares about all of us and that we all count.

“Hard working,” “dedicated,” “committed,” “knowledgeable” and “articulate” are words you often hear used to describe Vicki.  When you add her warmth, grace, and political savvy, you have the perfect combination to lead our association into the future.  Vicki will be a President I will be proud to follow and serve.  Toni Sherman, CRS, Past President, Council of Residential Specialists (CRS)

In working with Vicki over the past 10 years, I have found her to be a true leader.  In 2003, I chaired NAR’s REALTOR® Political Involvement Committee (RPIC) and she was our liaison to the Executive Committee.  She worked hard for us and made many contributions to our committee and work groups.  Again and again she displayed great leadership ability and unselfish involvement.  With her enthusiasm, knowledge, and dedication, Vicky is a proven leader.  She is my choice for 2010 NAR President.  Don Asher, Past President, Florida Assn of REALTORS®, Past Chairman, NAR RPIC


In my past 15 years of involvement with NAR, I have grown to know Vicki in many capacities.  Being politically involved, I had much in common with Vicki in the political arena.   While serving on a special work group for the Political Communications Committee (now RPIC), I had the opportunity to see her in action as the Liaison to State and Political Issues Group. That is when I first saw her leadership abilities!  She is energetic, intelligent and a proven leader.

The REALTOR® organization has long been blessed with talented professionals who have shown their dedication and willingness to serve.  Many in the REALTOR® family give of their time and talents to make our profession and our communities better for all of us.  Service is an attitude, a way of life.  Leadership is an art, it is that rare ability to inspire others to get the job done, to be more to do more.  It is something you either have or you don't.  Vicki has it. —DJ Snapp, Past President, Florida Assn Of REALTORS®
