Dear Georgia RLI Members,

As we cross the midpoint of 2025, I want to extend my deep appreciation for the energy, dedication, and professionalism that each of you brings to our land industry across the state. It is an honor to serve as your Georgia Chapter President, and I’m proud of the momentum we’ve built together this year.

We’ve already seen a strong start to the year with highly attended educational events, and new member engagement. We had a large number of Georgia members at the National Land Conference in Tucson, Arizona in March. We were able to fellowship and network at a luncheon for Georgia Chapter Members sponsored by Farm Credit Associations of Georgia and a cocktail hour.

Looking ahead, our focus remains clear:

· Education: RLI's commitment to excellence is reflected in the quality of our LANDU courses. Whether you're pursuing your ALC designation or sharpening your expertise, these resources are here to elevate your practice.

· Community: RLI is more than an organization — it's a network of trusted professionals. Let’s continue supporting one another, sharing listings, and building referrals across markets. Please visit us our booth at the Georgia Association of Realtors Annual Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina September 1-5, 2025. Also, please make plan to attend our Southeastern Land Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee on October 23 and 24, 2025.

I encourage you to stay engaged by attending upcoming events, promoting the ALC designation, and reaching out to fellow members throughout the state. If you haven’t yet been involved in one of our committees or local meetups — now is the time.

Thank you for your continued leadership in Georgia’s land real estate market. I look forward to seeing you at our next event and working together to make 2025 our best year yet. If you have any questions or ideas, please contact me at 678.313.5090 or rt3@gfwillis.com

Sincerely, Raborn Taylor III, ALC, CCIM President, Georgia Chapter – REALTORS® Land Institute
