| Be a part of your government!
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 interact with and support the elected officials
who vote in favor of real estate-friendly laws and regulations.
Trip to Richmond
Early January/Late 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.
NV/RPAC Silent Auction
Early April
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Or is it pearls? Maybe
you’d prefer to sail down the Chesapeake rather than being
adorned by jewels. Whatever luxuries you desire, you can find
them at the annual NV/RPAC Silent Auction at the Million Dollar
Dinner Dance. All proceeds help support the elected officials
who support you.
Legislative Reception
Mid-April
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.
Candidates Rally
Late Summer
Get out and vote! Without your votes, our local and state governments
could be filled with representatives who are against real estate-friendly
legislation. Held every four years before elections, the rally
is our chance to drum-up excitement about the candidates who
support pro-REALTOR® initiatives.
NV/RPAC Breakfast
October
Have you every shared your morning coffee with your Representative
from the U.S. Congress? What about the Lieutenant Governor?
Join fellow NV/RPAC contributors for this relaxed breakfast
before the NVAR annual convention for your chance to mingle
with some of Virginia’s most influential leaders. The
program includes a keynote address by a nationally acclaimed
political commentator and a full-service breakfast to start
your day.
