Local Government Relations Committee

One of the most important services you receive as a REALTORŪ is the information, knowledge and political strength that come from being a member of NSDCAR, CAR and NAR.  As a single voice you may not have much affect on the legislative or regulatory process, but as a member of your real estate trade association, you contribute to a strong advocacy effort.

The primary link between you and your association is the Local Government Relations Committee. This committee is empowered by your Board of Directors to interview and endorse candidates for public office, review and respond to local government issues, take stands on issues affecting our industry, and be proactive in the local government arena from city councils to the
County Board of Supervisors.

The Local Government Relations Committee is composed of members from each of the districts in our service area.  The committee generally meets monthly to discuss current issues within each community and the larger regional issues such as growth control, transportation, land use, schools, taxation, water quality, and energy.  LGR monitors and participates in the evolution of major political and regulatory efforts such as candidate elections, the formation of sign ordinances, school bond issues, land use debates and infrastructure development.

If you are interested in the government or regulatory process, you are welcome to attend LGR meetings and can always apply to serve on the committee.  Here is a list of the current committee membership:
