Announcing Virginia’s 2023 RPAC Hall of Fame Inductees
February 2, 2024
Virginia REALTORS® celebrates its new inductees to NAR’s RPAC Hall of Fame!
The Hall of Fame recognizes members who have made a significant commitment to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee over the years by investing an aggregate lifetime amount of at least $25,000. Hall of Fame members are installed at the May REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo the following year. (President’s Circle investments may be counted towards Hall of Fame status.)
Among the Hall of Fame benefits are name plaques on the RPAC Hall of Fame wall, located on NAR’s Washington, D.C. building rooftop; a personal plaque commemorating the installation; and recognition pins with the Hall of Fame designation.
