REALTORS® and non-members often wonder about the benefits of REALTOR® dues and RPAC investments. While the current COVID pandemic has created uncertain times, it is also providing an unprecedented need for REALTOR® Associations to advocate. These advocacy efforts benefit the entire industry, and demonstrate the importance of both REALTOR® membership and RPAC involvement.

This panel will discuss recent leadership from elected officials and the need for shelter in place orders, the process Atlanta REALTORS® Association followed to advocate for real estate being deemed essential, and an update from GAR on the state’s shelter in place order and other legislative updates.

Panelists:
- Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst
- ARA Governmental Affairs Director Aaron Johnson
- GAR Chief Advocacy Officer Jeff Ledford

Moderator: Michael Fischer, Vice President of Member Services
