We're big into sharing knowledge, especially when it helps you build your business. And with the weather getting marginally better (but still keeping a lot of us mostly indoors most of the time...), it's a perfect time to start thinking about those upcoming springtime and summertime photo projects when winter is finally gone and we start getting landscapes that start looking less dead. That's going to mean that awards season is also right around the corner, and it's never too early to start thinking about it!

Ovation Awards class on e-Learn

If you're a GVHBA member, you might have seen an announcement for the class that Susan Boyce, Lynn Harrison, and I did on Ovation Awards: Tips and Strategies last October cross your desk. We're jazzed that the class is now available online on the GVHBA's newly minted eLearn platform. You won't get the class exercises, but the content is now available in the comfort of your very own office (or at home, with your pets trying to shove your laptop off your lap...), and you even get 2.0 awesome Group B CPD points if you're a builder member who needs to keep your license up.

Almost all the points we make about the Ovation Awards also apply to the Georgie Awards, the CARE Awards, the Fraser Valley Awards, and most of the rest of the local housing awards, all of which have very similar entry requirements.

As part of their introductory special, eLearn classes are 50% off for another few days, so if you're interested, get on it quickly.
