Celebrating 25 Years of Community Development Advocacy Impact
For 25 years, NAR’s Community Development Advocacy program (formerly Community Outreach) has empowered associations to turn local insight into meaningful action. What began in the late 1990s as a push to shape local policy has grown into a national engine for change—supporting long-range planning sessions and neighborhood revitalization projects. Celebrate the milestones that have shaped Community Development Advocacy into what it is today.
