Important Meeting About Forms Coming Soon…
The Forms Committee met recently to discuss some changes in the current DAAR forms and made recommendations to the Directors. The Directors recently met with the Broker/Owners to discuss the changes and it was the consensus of the Broker/Owners to agree. Therefore, the Directors at their last meeting approved the following changes to the forms that DAAR offers to the membership to use. Please note that the forms DAAR offers are not mandatory in anyway for Broker/Owners to use, they are a choice for the Broker/Owners to supply to their agents as safe and reliable forms commonly used in our service area. This meeting is designed for our Association Counsel to review the new forms with the membership and teach them how to properly use them.

Monday June 21, 2010 at Best Western on Route 38 in DeKalb from 1pm to 3:30pm
Instructor: Jim Stoddard, Association Counsel
RSVP is a must by calling prior to June 17th 815-899-3301
