FPCs are recommended by their state president and appointed by the NAR President, to serve a two-year term that runs concurrently with the congressional cycle. Potential FPCs should have a willingness to learn the issues, the ability to set aside their personal politics to represent the REALTOR® Party and the desire to build and/or maintain a relationship with a member of Congress.
