SANDPOINT — Stephanie Rief, association executive of the Selkirk Association of Realtors is being honored by the National Association of Realtors with the association’s Realtor Certified Executive designation, which recognizes exceptional efforts made by the Realtor association executives.

Rief is one of over 500 Realtor association executives who have achieved this mark of excellence. Local and state association executives who hold the RCE designation represent real estate officials in 48 states/territories.

“This is truly an honor and I am very proud to be receiving this designation. It is a high point in my career as an association executive,” Rief said.

Prior to becoming a candidate for the RCE designation, applicants must document their association management and academic experiences. Once they have completed this first step, eligible candidates must successfully complete a multiple-choice exam, which is based on a comprehensive understanding of association operations and management practices. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of areas critical to association management, including association law, governance and issues related to member services. To retain the designation, RCEs must be recertified every four years.

Rief will receive an award plaque from representatives of the Idaho Realtors during an upcoming event.
