Today five members from local associations sent representatives to the Illinois REALTORS® headquarters in Springfield for media spokesperson training.

Participants practiced answering topical questions in front of bright lights and cameras as they would if they were interviewed by members of news media in real-life situations.

REALTORS® in the training session included: Ed Neaves and Diane Cote (Bloomington -Normal Association of REALTORS®), Jana Heffron (Peoria Area Association of REALTORS®), Don St. Germaine (Kankakee Iroquois Ford Association of REALTORS®) and Kris Brown (Heartland REALTOR® Organization).
