Alicia Dietrich of Windermere Real Estate, South Whidbey, has been awarded the At Home with Diversity certification from the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Dietrich joins 25,000 other real estate professionals in North America who have earned the certification after completing an eight-hour course addressing topics of diversity, fair housing and business planning development.

The program is designed to meet the nation’s fair housing commitment by educating and equipping NAR’s members with the tools they need to expand homeownership opportunities for the growing number of culturally diverse buyers and sellers in the housing market who identify with groups entailing race, ethnicity, religion, gender, handicaps, familial status or national origin.
