She is responsible for managing the overall operation and achieving positive financial outcomes for the organization.
You see it every day. The prospect of mutual gain brings people together and smooths the way for partnership and fruitful collaboration. Take icon Steve Jobs, whom without his partnership with Steve Wozniak, may not have realized the same level of success in building Apple; similarly, we invite AREAA members to partner with AREAA Global and draw
on the organization’s strength to expand and elevate your business! If you weren’t at the AREAA Global + Luxury Summit this spring in Seattle, or even if you were, I want to give you some insight into how the new AREAA Global Exchange benefits you, your clients, and stakeholders across the organization.
The Exchange is a remarkable winwin-win solution included with your membership as it will: • Create a new income stream for members • Serve developers who are eager to reach Asian capital and market to a targeted audience • Generate revenue to advance AREAA National’s goals 32

The Technology The Collabra Technology team believes, as we do, that great things are accomplished through collaboration. We partnered with Collabra (previously Proxio) because they had already blazed the trail with a global sales and marketing platform that includes language translation and currency exchange — the perfect technology solution for our members. When you signup to access the Exchange, you’ll see just how easy it is to promote select investment properties to your clients, communicate with builders,
and expand your business through instant listings. With the Exchange, you access a global inventory and a platform designed to help you maximize your income opportunities through referral and commissions pre-negotiated as equal if not best on market by AREAA Global.
