1. What are the deadlines for President’s Circle investments?

$500 is due by May 31 each year. The full $2,000 is due by September 30 each year. For new members of the program, $500 is due upon enrollment to be officially recognized as a President’s Circle member and begin receiving President’s Circle benefits.

2. Since President’s Circle members must be RPAC Major Investors, must they invest in RPAC before they can become a President’s Circle member?

No, you may join President’s Circle and remain a member in “good standing” as long as you fulfill your RPAC Major Investor amount (minimum $1,000) by the year-end deadline for RPAC. NOTE: States often set an earlier year-end deadline for RPAC so they will have adequate time to transmit funds to National RPAC by the deadline. Please check with your state if you plan to invest in RPAC at the end of the year so your investment will count toward the current recognition year.

3. Do my RPAC investments (Sterling R, Crystal R, etc.) count toward President’s Circle?

No, funds allocated towards maintaining the Major Investor portion of your annual recognition go directly to RPAC, whereas the funds invested through the President’s Circle program are directed to the campaigns of the REALTOR® Champions you have selected.

4. How many opportunities will there be to invest in President's Circle?

Each year there are typically four rounds of President’s Circle. Members may invest in as few or as many rounds as they like.

5. How do I make my President’s Circle investments?

President’s Circle members MUST make their investments through PresidentsCircle.realtor, a website that collects the funds and disseminates them to the appropriate campaign(s). Checks or contributions made directly to candidates outside the website will not be recognized as President’s Circle investments.

6. Is it possible to invest in President’s Circle other than the times we receive President’s Circle emails?

Yes. A President’s Circle member may invest at any time once the program launches each year until September 30 at PresidentsCircle.realtor.

7. How do I access a record of my completed investments?

Once you log in to the portal, you may view your complete record by selecting “My Account” in the top right-hand corner. Once selected, you will be able to view all of your investment receipts.

8. May I invest in any congressional candidate via President’s Circle?

Members may only invest in congressional candidates chosen by the national RPAC Disbursement Trustees. President’s Circle members invest collectively in a small number of REALTOR® Party Champion incumbent candidates in order to make a big impact. 

9. Which President’s Circle members receive preferred placement at headquarter hotels at national meetings?

President’s Circle members who are Platinum Rs receive guaranteed headquarter hotels at national meetings the following year. Due to the significant amount of time it takes to plan the annual meetings, headquarter hotel accommodations cannot be guaranteed until the following year. (Example: If a Platinum R joins President’s Circle on August 1, they will receive guaranteed headquarter hotel accommodations at the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings and NAR NXT in the next calendar year).
