| Business and community leaders come together for this crowning event of the Chamber year!
Join us Wednesday, June 8 at the Omni Grove Park Inn for an evening of celebration, honoring local business and community leaders and featuring two-time Paralympian John Register as our keynote!  John Register is a two-time Paralympian, Paralympic Games Silver Medalist, Persian Gulf War veteran, and TEDx Motivational Speaker. He embraced a “new normal mindset” in becoming an amputee following a misstep over a hurdle while training for the 1996 Olympic Games, after participation in two consecutive Olympic trials. Register teaches business professionals through his “Hurdling Adversity” speeches and podcasts to “amputate fear and embrace their new normal,” as they discover “stories within themselves.” He finds that “it is the personal stories that inspire teams more profoundly with greater impact.” We’ll also be presenting the following awards at our Annual Meeting:

A quick but in-depth real estate market recap from the Ruiz Report and a panel discussion about buying real estate without a traditional bank. Community haves/wants/needs with networking to follow.
Learn how to fund your real estate deals without using traditional financing. Learn about the difference between hard money and private money. The benefits and possible frustrations of working with individuals or established lending companies.
Our panelists for our May meeting are Craig Peters, Derek Robinson, and George Lycan!
Craig Peters: As investor relations specialist and loan originator, Craig is responsible for expanding ALFIE’s reach between the Asheville and Upstate SC markets.
Derek Robinson: Private lending has been a natural progression. Derek has the equity built from many years of buying and selling property, the knowledge of markets he invests in and the cost to buy/rehab/sell properties, and a network of qualified and experienced home flippers.
George Lycan: He has been involved in private money for 11 years as a lender and borrower. He has participated in flipper loans, seller finance transactions, straight acquisition loans – both sides – of his deal – and as the broker. George also serves as the leader of the CREIA private money focus group.
