It’s no surprise to anyone that any political discussion in today’s world can be a minefield at best and a fistfight at worst! Realtor® organizations are not immune to this, with a breadth of members from all political leanings and backgrounds. However, Realtors® have traditionally been successful in seeking common ground where property rights is concerned, leading to effective outreach with elected officials which benefits the local community.  

If your Government Affairs committee/team has lost its focus on advocacy issues — if your policy document has become bloated and ineffective — if your volunteers are not clearly focused on what items should be priority — if your legislative committee has lost clarity on its role with the community and with staff — then it’s possible you need a workshop with Leigh Brown!

In our workshop day together on zoom (or your preferred platform), we’ll discuss:

           *Rules of Engagement

           *The Language of Success

           *Priorities for Advocacy

           *Priorities for Education (on the legislative front, not to be confused with ProfessionalDevelopment topics)

           *Best Practices for Volunteer Committee/Board of Directors/Staff Coordination

You’ll leave the day with clarity on roles and priorities, and with a 2-3 page rough draft of a policy document/framework to be your NorthStar in communicating with your entire membership plus all elected officials.
