At Home With DiversitySM
On June 14, 1997, President Clinton announced a new initiative called "One
America in the 21st Century: The President's Initiative on Race." The initiative
strives to build:
- a community of all Americans where there is "opportunity for all, and
responsibility for all"
- "A diverse democratic community in which we respect, even celebrate
differences, while embracing the shared values that unite us"
As a National Association of Realtors®
certified "At Home with Diversity: One America" Realtor®,
I embrace the objectives of President Clinton's initiative.
According to the National Association of Realtors®
(NAR) "America is becoming an increasingly multicultural society. The rapidly
growing population of minorities and immigrants consider buying a home a top
priority. For many families homeownership serves as a stepping stone to
prosperity and represents the American way of life. Expanding homeownership will
strengthen our nation's families and communities. NAR publicly promotes the
REALTORS® role in providing equal and affordable housing opportunities for all
Americans through a variety of programs: The At Home with Diversity: One America
certification, the Cultural
Diversity Program, and a host of outreach and
educational initiatives. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has a vision of
REALTORS® being the leaders in a culturally diverse real estate market.
REALTORS® who are able to effectively reach out to all racial and
ethnic groups
in their community are not only positioned for success but can take pride in
knowing that they have participated in the expansion of homeownership to all
Americans."
As a National Association of Realtors®
certified "At Home with Diversity: One America" Realtor®,
I embrace the objectives of NAR's vision.
