State Political Coordinator Program
The State Political Coordinator (SPC) program serves to link Legislators more directly with REALTOR® members in their community and the issues facing MAR and the real estate industry as a whole. By building a solid and lasting personal relationship with a Legislator, the member can establish themselves and the Association as a credible resource on housing-related issues. SPCs become the “Voice for Real Estate” with their designated legislator and develop a trusting, ongoing, cooperative relationship grounded primarily in the mutual benefit to the legislator, REALTORS®, and the legislator’s constituents. The foundation of this network is the belief that by working together, as a team, REALTORS® can have a profound influence in shaping public policy.
