Join us in Washington on May 17-18!
As Realtors®, we’re not typically ones to stand on the sidelines unless we’re rooting for our favorite sports team. We act. We attend community events, we network, we speak up – we get things done! This issue of RE+VIEW highlights our successes: we get laws passed, we educate our elected officials, we listen to candidates, we celebrate with legislators, and we stay up-to-date on the latest technology. And while we haven’t yet, at press time, logged all of your Realtor® Community Action Day April charitable activities, I know that we make a difference in our communities, too.
But that was last month!
May is Realtor® Advocacy Month. I challenge you to join me in taking these actions in May:
1. Attend the Realtors® Legislative Meeting & Trade EXPO in Washington DC the week of May 15. Register for free and view the latest schedule at
https://www.nar.realtor/midyear.nsf/. On Wednesday and Thursday, May 17 – 18, NVAR will have a booth at the Trade EXPO. Stop by on either day for your chance to win.
Meeting highlights include: America Under President Trump: A View From Washington, on May 17 featuring the Host of FOX News Sunday, Chris Wallace; the Residential Economic Issues & Trends Forum on May 18 featuring NAR’s Chief Economist Lawrence Yun and Vice President Pence’s Chief Economist; prize drawings; refreshments; cocktail hours; and much more!
2. Invest in RPAC. If you haven’t already this year (or even if you have!), make an investment in an amount that’s right for you. Invest at the $99 and above level, and be recognized in RE+VIEW magazine. Learn more and invest at
nvar.com/RPAC.
3. Stay informed. Attend NVAR’s May 24 Finance Summit to hear industry experts share the latest finance news that can help your clients. Visit
nvar.com/Finance17 to learn more and register.
And here are your June assignments:
1. Nominate someone – perhaps yourself – for our NVAR Board of Directors. NVAR involvement is an excellent way to share your experience and talents for the benefit of our industry. We need you! Volunteer involvement is what keeps us going strong. Nomination forms will be available on nvar.com beginning June 8.
2. On Friday, June 9, show your support for our Washington Nationals and our industry by attending our annual NV/RPAC Night at Nat’s Park.
Enjoy the rest of your action-packed spring. I look forward to seeing you in our Nation’s Capital in May and at the ballpark in June. Let’s hear it for Realtors®, Baseball and Homeownership!
