Stay tuned for full details on the annual Northeast Real Estate Convention & Expo.
New Member Orientation focuses on the specific benefits of - and what it means to be - a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the Vermont Association of REALTORS®, and your local board. Meet VAR's 2010 President, Leslee Mackenzie, who will share personal industry experience and review the importance of professionalism in real estate. Executive Vice President, Bob Hill, provides a "big picture" prespective on how the national, state and local pieces fit together, as well as the power of the REALTOR® brand. Vermont Association of REALTORS® staff will highlight important partnerships and initiatives at the national and state levels that benefit you individually and the real estate industry in general. In addition, you will receive an overview of the website, government affairs, and local board issues. Last but not least, learn about State of Vermont licensing requirements, continuing education classes and courses developed at the national level that will teach you how to specialize in certain areas, such as buyer representation, resort & second homes - and more.
New Member Orientation is not a class; therefore it is not approved for continuing education credits.

As the largest professional trade association in the United States, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) represents more than 1.3 million residential and commercial REALTORS® involved in all facets of the industry. NAR advocates policy initiatives that will result in the continued creation of a fundamentally sound and dynamic U.S. real estate market fostering vibrant communities in which to live and work.
As part of this ongoing effort, NAR hosts Midyear Legislative Meetings each May in Washington, DC. Here REALTOR® members from every state meet one-on-one with senators and representatives from their own states to assist NAR in making sure that the issues important to the real estate industry - and you individually - stay on the national radar screen.
If you are interested in participating, keep an eye out for e-notices from VAR closer to the meeting dates. You can also keep an eye on national legislative activity at any time by regularly visiting the Government Affairs section of REALTOR.org.
