OKCMAR is looking for volunteers for our new Education Workgroup! 

This workgroup will consist of energetic members who love to learn - and who can work alongside the staff assisting with class ideas and speakers.

We have a great selection of CE and interesting classes on the education calendar, but we want to expand!

Join NAR on Thursday, April 8 at noon for the kick-off event of the 2021 NAR Policy Forum series! Tipping the SCALE: How Alternative Data Promote or Impede Fair Lending Goals featuring new research and a discussion by industry experts addressing the racial homeownership gap.



As we move into the next month of our 2021 RPAC investment roundup, we will be focusing on raising $15,000 by the end of the month. To accomplish that goal we have two major activities:

VOTING IS NOW OPEN!

From April 1st to April 30th, REALTOR® members across the country have a chance to vote on their favorite pet. Of course, we are Region 9 and have hopes we show our regional support! Each vote will be $15 and will go to support RPAC.

This is a great way to support for RPAC and show our Region 9 pride. OKCMAR has set a challenge for 150 OKCMAR members to vote in the April contest. That averages out to about 15 folks a day. Let's get started!

OKCMAR members will hit the phones on Tuesday, April 22^nd from 9 am to noon to call fellow members to remind them of the importance of RPAC. If you have already invested, you are good to go and OKCMAR says thank you!

You can avoid a call by making an investment today - and you'll be good for the year!

If you would like to volunteer and help us call, please contact OKCMAR Government Affairs Director Gary Jones at gjones@okcmar.org.
