The 2019 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C., is fast approaching. From May 13-18, brokers and agents from across the country will gather to advance our industry and influence policy.
With thousands attending, 200-plus events and meetings and 120-plus Trade Expo booths, it promises to be an invaluable event. REALTORS® can network with changemakers, participate in legislative activities, visit Capitol Hill, and learn what’s new in the industry. This year, I am excited to share the experience through the lens of our new “That’s Who We R” campaign. It’s a powerful message of owning our stories and embracing our Code of Ethics—and one worth celebrating.
Attendees can visit the Trade Expo, May 15 and 16, to learn about the latest products and services in lead generation, internet prospecting, MLS, and much more. Visit the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Booth No. 1707 in the REALTOR® Pavilion to learn about exciting offers for members:
