NVAR’S YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK (YPN) kicked off 2017 with a speed-networking event, where new and current members could meet colleagues and share information about their profession.

Later in the year, YPN hosted a Top Golf event and happy hours for St. Patrick’s Day and Christmas. “Get the Scoop with RPR®” served a dual social and educational purpose as an ice cream social and informational session at NVAR’s headquarters. To help promote the Realtors® Political Action Committee (RPAC), the group hosted the series: “Business & Beers with NVAR CEO Ryan Conrad.” YPN also partnered with the Realtor®-Builder Series for a program about smart home technology.

On the philanthropic side, YPN partnered with NVAR Cares for Habitat for Humanity’s Build Days and ReStore days. Members also volunteered at the Junior Achievement Center in Fairfax to teach children about running a business and volunteered at the Embry Rucker Shelter to serve food, organize donations and participate in other projects.

Many of these successful events will return in 2018. However, YPN is planning to expand its educational and philanthropic efforts by teaming with other NVAR committees and groups. To learn more, contact dcaldas@nvar.com.
