The Real Estate Council of Austin ("RECA") is
committed to cultivating future leaders of RECA
in order to ensure that RECA will continue to be
led by a diverse group of real estate
professionals with extensive knowledge of
Austin, the surrounding community and the real
estate issues facing these areas. The Leadership
Development Council ("LDC") is a one-year
leadership development program of RECA whose
mission is to educate and develop leadership
talent within the community of young
professional members of RECA. The program is
designed to encourage individuals in the real
estate industry to improve their understanding
of Austin and its real estate issues, increase
their involvement and profile within RECA and
allow them to build meaningful relationships
with other young professional members of RECA.
The anonymous LDC Selection Committee will
endeavor to assemble an exemplary cross-section
of young professionals who meet or exceed the
criteria noted in the application above, but at
the same time will strive to achieve diversity
on many levels, including professional
backgrounds, gender and ethnicity.

Class members admitted into the LDC program must not have reached their 36th birthday by January 1, 2012 and must have been a RECA member for at least six (6) months prior to submitting an application for the 2012 class. Ten to 15 class members admitted are required to participate in the scheduled events and activities of RECA and monthly LDC meetings. LDC class members should be prepared to attend 2-5 mandatory hours per month of activities associated with the LDC program. Participants may also be required to attend one or two all day LDC-related programs during the year.
In applying for the LDC program, please understand you must clear your calendars to attend all of the following events tentatively scheduled as follows:
Orientation: RESCHEDULED: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Overnight Retreat: Friday/Saturday, January 20-21, 2012, leaving at 2:00 p.m. on Friday and returning on Saturday afternoon.
Leadership Skills Workshop: Monday, February 6, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (time revised)
Monthly Programs: Starting March 5, 2012, the first Monday of every month except July, September, October, and December 2012. There is no class in July. The first Monday of September is Labor Day, so the class will be rescheduled to either September 4 or 10, 2012. The October program will be the Christmas in October project on a Saturday, and the December program likely will be on the same date as the RECA Annual Meeting and Awards Lunch. Attendance at the annual Christmas in October project is mandatory for graduation.
If at any time throughout the year a participant fails to attend a monthly meeting or is not working in earnest to meet the program requirements, that participant will be reviewed by the Oversight Committee and may be asked to withdraw from the program. In order to be considered for graduation, a participant must be recommended by the LDC
Oversight Committee and receive the
approval of RECA's Board of Directors. The LDC Oversight Committee is
composed of three graduates of the prior year's
LDC class plus two others appointed by RECA's President.
Most meetings will have a period for
socializing either preceded or followed by an
educational program. Generally, programs
will include speakers such as real estate
professionals, City of Austin decision makers,
and conservationists. RECA committee chairs may
also speak to the class about the activities of
the committees and identify opportunities for
increased participation in those committees.
Some programs will involve panels of speakers
with differing or complementary viewpoints on
the program topic. A list of the 2011 LDC
program events is provided online.
