The Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) is proud to announce that Marlo Paventi Dilts, Government Affairs Director of Nassau/Suffolk Counties and Dana Nowick, MLS Product Marketing and Client Relationship Manager, were recently honored by the National Association of REALTORS® with the REALTOR® association Certified Executive (RCE) designation, which recognizes exceptional efforts made by REALTOR® association executives.

These exemplary employees join an elite group of over 500 REALTOR® association executives who have achieved this mark of excellence. RCE is the only professional designation designed specifically for REALTOR® association executives. Local and state association executives who hold the RCE designation represent REALTORS® in 49 states/territories.

“The Long Island Board of REALTORS® congratulates Marlo and Dana on this outstanding achievement and demonstrating their commitment to the field of REALTOR® association management by attaining their RCE designation. The RCE designation exemplifies goal-oriented professionals with drive, experience and commitment to professional growth. We commend you both!” said LIBOR President Matthew Arnold.

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 REALTOR® association management, including association law, governance and issues related to member services.  To retain the designation, RCEs must be recertified every four years.

Marlo and Dana will be honored by the New York State Association of REALTORS® during an upcoming event.
