Message from Idaho REALTORS®
David Hensley
Idaho REALTORS® Chief Executive Officer
It is that time of the year the leaves are changing, fall is in the air and Idaho REALTORS® annual Convention is fast approaching. This year our convention will be entirely virtual. This was a tough and emotional decision, but one the Executive Committee and staff feel promotes the health and safety of our members, your families, and communities. We cannot ignore the rising numbers of COVID cases around the state or that crisis standards of care are being implemented statewide.

While we are disappointed that we are unable to meet in person we are excited to offer our members a fantastic virtual option!
The IR Virtual Convention will present many great opportunities, up to 22.5 continuing education credits, keynote address from NAR’s Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, a forms update and the installation of 2022 Idaho REALTORS® President, Patrick Malone. So, get ready for a wealth of information starting October 19- October 22.

And the best part? You can join us from wherever you are. We look forward to “seeing” you there!

Please Welcome...
My name is Nick Stout, and I am the new Communications Director for Idaho REALTORS®. Before IR, I was the public information officer of the Idaho Industrial Commission (IIC) for five years, where I oversaw the Commission's Annual Seminar, Centennial Celebration, and the launch of the IRIS Modernization Project.
Before IIC, I worked as a communications specialist in the Office of Governor Otter, assisting with video production, website management, and social media support.

I started my career in communications at the College of Idaho, where I graduated with a degree in history, creative writing, and journalism. I was born and raised in Caldwell and have adored this wonderful state my entire life. I love running, backpacking, and paddle boarding, and I try to spend as much time as I can outside enjoying Idaho's beautiful trails, mountains, and lakes.

I look forward to working with everyone in the Idaho REALTORS® community, and I am excited to see what the future has in store. If you would like to get acquainted with me, please don't hesitate to reach out.
