NVAR offers many opportunities throughout the year for you to play a part in protecting private property rights and your business. From lobbying elected officials in Richmond to sharing a laugh over breakfast, NVAR’s Government Affairs events give you the chance to meet and interact with the elected officials who represent you.

Visit to Virginia State Capitol and General Assembly
Late January/Early February
Make your voice heard! Held during the Virginia Legislative Session, the annual trip to Richmond lets you flex your lobbying muscles and tell your Delegates and Senators what you think about the legislation they are considering. Intimidated by lobbying? Don’t worry – you’ll get a crash course in Lobbying 101 on your way down to the state capitol. A briefing on the issues and talking points will help you understand the process and why your voice is so important. Realtors® consistently rank the Visit one of the most important and educational events offered by NVAR.

Legislative Reception
Spring
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Who doesn’t love to be thanked for their hard work? The legislative reception is your opportunity to thank your elected officials in person for their support of real estate-friendly legislation. Held after the Virginia Legislative Session, local and state elected officials are invited to NVAR for a cocktail reception giving you the perfect opportunity to talk shop with those who can make a difference.
