Pryor dubbed president-elect of Realtors Association

Marolyn Pryor, owner of Marolyn Pryor Realtors, which has five offices in the metro area, was recently selected to serve as the 2007 president-elect of the Oklahoma Metro Association of Realtors. This will be Pryor’s second term. She served her first term as president in 1988.
Pryor says her goal is to create a more member-friendly board, making members feel welcome to use the facilities of the board at any time. She also wants to see new leadership in the board.
“Our old timers are taking a second turn at serving on the board,” Pryor said. “We need younger people coming on. I’ve put in a lot of years and I love it but we need more young people involved.”
Pryor says membership in the association helped her understand what a realtor is.
“You may be licensed, but you are not a Realtor until you join the association,” Pryor said.
She said the association helps members grow professionally and is a great way to network.
“We have monthly meetings and luncheons and it helps to meet other members you can network with which leads to cross sales,” Pryor said. “We support candidates and legislation that affect the real estate industry and have or will have committees of Professional Standards, Ethics, Arbitration, Legislative, Education, Finance, and Affiliates. We also offer scholarships to OAR training to encourage younger people to get involved and become new leaders.”
According to Pryor, 90 percent of the association’s focus was international under prior president and chief executive officer Sharon Young. The Daily Oklahoman reported Young spent much of the association’s resources organizing an annual International Business Conference which drew presenters from all over the world but few metro realtors.
“We are all aware of the global economy,” Pryor said, “but we need to take care of local issues. This should be a member driven association to help and benefit our members.”
Pryor says she did not seek the office of president-elect, but is very honored she was asked to take it.
