The 2018 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo is a reminder of the critical role advocacy plays in our goal to revolutionize this industry and prepare REALTORS® for sustainable future success. Advancing public policy that build strong communities and promote a vibrant business environment and supporting REALTOR® Champions at the national, state and local levels will help increase our influence in an uncertain legislative, regulatory, and political environment.
As thousands of our colleagues and business partners attend our Legislative Meetings in Washington, DC, we are also continuing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. We hope you join us at NAR 360 for a special Fair Housing presentation on Tuesday, May 15. The General Session on May 16 features U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Dr. Benjamin Carson, who will reinforce HUD’s commitment to fair housing, and Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), who will share his personal story of the importance of safe and affordable housing for all Americans. Stop by the Fair Housing display in the Marriott Wardman Park hotel lobby to reaffirm your committment to Article 10 of NAR’s Code of Ethics.
The Trade Expo features more than 130 exhibitors, and will be open Wednesday, May 16, and Thursday, May 17 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Stop by NAR booth #1707 for a Fair Housing commemorative pin. Before you leave for your Capitol Hill visit, stop by the Concierge Counter in NAR Booth on Wednesday, May 16 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to pick up your free Metro card and map (available only while supplies last).
This meeting also represents an important opportunity for REALTORS® to meet with their U.S. Senators and Representatives, and communicate the issues critical to their businesses, communities and the consumers they represent. For those of you attending Hill Visits, be sure to review the materials and talking points before heading to the Hill. This is our opportunity to make our voices heard…Own It!
We look forward to seeing you in Washington, DC.
