The following candidates would like your consideration in becoming a FAR Director to serve a three year term to begin January 1, 2016.  **Today, Friday, May 8 by 5 p.m. is the deadline for petition nominations**

My name is Julie Caglia, Broker for 31 years and I am running for director of the Fresno Association of REALTORS.  I have been a director in the past and have been involved in leadership for several years.  I've learned a great deal regarding political, local and state issues relating to our industry.  I feel all the education and involvement has helped me to participate in decisions with knowledge and experience.  I am very sensitive to our members needs and respect our industry, our association and our hardworking staff.  I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve and would appreciate your vote.  

Dear Fellow REALTORS, I have served you for many years.  I believe in working for all of us to make our business more productive and more professional by providing benefits and tools that make us better REALTORS.  I think I bring to our Board of Directors an understanding of where we have been, which is important in deciding where we are going!  I have served at C.A.R. and NAR to bring information back to our members to help keep us all up-to-date with what is happening in our industry.  I would sincerely appreciate your vote. 

My name is Kristy Mastro-Henry and I have had my real estate license for 13 years and my broker license for 10 years.  I am a current Director for the Association.  Born and raised in Fresno and graduated from San Joaquin Memorial High School and San Diego State University.  There are many REALTORS in my family including my mom and aunts.  I have been working for our family business, Andy Caglia Realty for the past 8 years. 

Coming from a small office I enjoy being involved in leadership and networking with other agents.  I have been involved in leadership in various committees for the past 7 years which include: MLS Speaker Chair for 2 years, Strategic Planning Committee for 1 year, MLS Committee for 3 years, C.A.R. Director for 2 years and a Board of Director for the past 2 1/2 years.  I look forward to continuing to serve my fellow REALTORS as a Director for the Fresno Association of REALTORS. 

I came into the real estate industry in 1970.  I have been the Broker of Hyatt Real Estate for 25 years.  I have served as the Chairman of the Investors and Exchangers for 15 plus years.  I would like to now serve on your Board of Directors.  Please vote for Tom Hyatt as one of your selections for the Fresno Association of REALTORS' Board of Directors. 

I have been selling real estate in the Fresno/Clovis area for the last 31 years.  I've been involved in leadership with the Fresno Association of REALTORS for several years, holding various positions: FAR Director 2013-2015, FAR Treasurer 2011-2012, FAR President 2006, FAR Director 2001-2007, MLS Chair 2001.  

Not only do I enjoy serving in leadership, but I feel I bring a lot of experience to the position.  Real Estate has been my career for many years and I believe in keeping the integrity of our business and the accuracy of the information provided by the MLS.  I will work hard and be  very fair for all members of our Association to continue to make it one of the best Associations in the state.  

J.P. Shamshoian is serving as the President of Realty Concepts. Currently serving on the Board of Directors for C.A.R., as well as a member of the Community Outreach Committee, co-chair from 2012-2014.  I am running for the Board because I am passionate about the future of the industry and want to be part of the solution on topics like the restoration of professionalism in the industry and protection of your listing data from online third party sources. I received my MBA from Fresno State, and am married to my best friend, Margaret Ann.

I have been a member of our local Association for approximately 23 years!  I have previously served as an MLS Committee member and a past Director.  I also am presently serving on the LCRC Committee.  I have a passion for getting to know our membership, along with promoting and participating in FAR's fundraisers and events. 

I am a candidate for the 2016 election for the Fresno Association of REALTORS Board of Directors and I hope I can count on your vote!
