400 North Holds “Step up” to RPAC Major Investor Recruitment Event
June 12, 2023
This past Tuesday evening, June 5, 2023, many of the 400 North Association of REALTORS® RPAC Major Investors met at Rena’s Italian Fishery and Grill for their annual Major Investor Recruitment event. This year, attendees had an opportunity to hear from GAR past president Dorrie Love about her personal experience of becoming a RPAC Major Investor.
Dorrie described how investing in RPAC helped her business as a REALTOR® and her successful election as the Georgia Association of REALTORS® 2021 President. Dorrie also discussed her current role as a Corporate Ally Representative with NAR’s Major Investor Council.
In addition, investors heard from Jeff Ledford, GAR’s Chief Advocacy Officer. Jeff provided an in depth outline of the recent regulatory and legislative efforts of GAR and the role RPAC plays in the success of our advocacy efforts. Jeff outlined how, for the last few years, Georgia REALTORS® has supported the Governor’s budget. These budgets allocated funding for several of the state’s economic development initiatives in which housing was included as an integral part of the incentives.
At the end of the evening, Scott Whelchel, 400 North’s RPAC Chair, asked those members attending to renew their investment for 2023 and encourage other REALTORS® to invest in RPAC.
