  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;What many years of experience has taught me is that you have to build a solid foundation before you can responsibly assume an advisory role and represent clients.&amp;quot; explains Julie. Julie is regarded as an &amp;quot;expert&amp;quot; in the industry and dedicated to the entrepreneurial business community and advocate for small businesses in Minnesota and Wisconsin. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;In other news, &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Minnesota" href="http://www.exitrealtymn.com/" target="_blank"&gt;EXIT Realty Minnesota&lt;/a&gt; is honored to announce the appointments of Carson Brooks to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS&amp;reg; (MAAR) Board of Directors and Karen Tobler to the Board of Officers for the Women's Council of REALTORS&amp;reg;, Twin Cities Chapter.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Carson Brooks is Broker and owner of EXIT Lakes Realty, with offices in Wayzata and coming soon to the Calhoun area, the 15th Market Territory for EXIT in Minnesota. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We are so proud to have Carson serve on such a dynamic Board of Directors. MAAR is one of the most cutting edge REALTOR&amp;reg; Boards in the nation and is constantly enhancing services to benefit the real estate professional,&amp;quot; explains Alan Dirks, Regional Owner of &lt;a title="EXIT Realty Minnesota" href="http://www.exitrealtymn.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;EXIT Realty Minnesota&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;quot;Carson is extremely innovative and I look forward to his tremendous contributions and positive influence with upcoming Board initiatives.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Carson served as Chair of the Compass Academy within MAAR, a professional and leadership development program for REALTORS&amp;reg;, now in its fourth year.

  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Women's Council of REALTORS&amp;reg; is truly a phenomenal organization.&amp;nbsp; I really feel at home with our group as the spirit of cooperation and working arm-in-arm within WCR is just like the EXIT Philosophy.&amp;quot; said Karen.&amp;nbsp; With over a decade of management experience and 5 years in real estate, Karen's focus is supporting all the various initiatives for regional growth within Minnesota and Wisconsin.&lt;/p&gt;
