Re:      NAR REALTOR Party Political Survival Initiative – Possible $40 NAR Dues Increase

The National Association of REALTORS® is proposing a new initiative – The Realtor® Party Political Survival Initiative. Have you heard the buzz???  This May, the NAR Board of Directors will vote on the proposal at the Midyear Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo.   The NAR initiative is designed to keep the Voice of Real Estate one of the most influential advocacy groups in America. Please take the time to visit the links below and educate yourself on the initiative.  To fund the effort, the REALTOR® Party Political Survival Initiative proposes a dedicated dues increase of $40 for REALTOR® Members.
