SPAAR Community Campus – How It Works

Introducing SPAAR Community Campus

Through class feedback and the annual survey, we listened to members like you and the desire for SPAAR to offer ways to take classes or attend meetings and events online.  We have been working to develop the perfect place for all of that!

With our mission in mind “Better Agents, Better Communities,” we proudly launched SPAAR COMMUNITY CAMPUS, with classes in November 2020! 

SPAAR is committed to providing relevant educational programs and tools that enhance members’ ability to conduct their businesses in an ethical and professional manner.  SPAAR Community Campus is your destination for professional development from anywhere you have Wi-Fi access! We’re bringing SPAAR to you - where you are.

SPAAR Community Campus opportunities will include: 

• Professional development courses
• Hands-on technical classes
• Educational seminars
• Events designed to grow your business 
• And more!

How do you get connected?

With the launch of SPAAR Community Campus, you’ll continue to sign up for classes and webinars the same way you always have on spaar.com and through your SPAAR member portal.

You will receive a confirmation and/or reminder email with instructions for attending your classes on your new virtual campus. 

We look forward to seeing you on SPAAR Community Campus so that you can stay connected with the people and information that will help you serve your clients.
