“As a 3D AEOP member, I have taken advantage of the opportunities provided at the local, state, and national levels to learn and grow professionally. One of the great things about education is it does not have an expiration date, and what you learn is yours for a lifetime. B. B. King said, "The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.” The learning experiences I have gained through NAEOP are mine to keep and to share. This is something I will always treasure.”
