A great strength of the REALTOR® organization is its ability to mobilize members to address national legislation that has an immediate or future impact on the real estate industry. Your VAR government affairs team in Montpelier works on behalf of REALTORS® and homeowners in Vermont on a state level. But the voice of Vermont REALTORS® is also heard on Capitol Hill.
This work is done by REALTORS® appointed to the Federal Political Coordinator (FPC) program, a National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) initiative designed to build relationships on a grassroots level with members of Congress.
A key objective of FPCs is to meet with their respective Vermont elected official three to four times a year. They don't simply communicate with telephone calls -- they meet representatives in person and develop a rapport. VAR will provide reports from FPCs throughout the year. More
