Louisiana Associations Recognized for Excellence in Advocacy
LOUISIANA REALTORS • February 13, 2019
Each year the National Association of REALTORS® awards the Triple Crown and the President’s Cup to the Associations around the country who dedicate time and effort to achieving REALTOR® Party goals. Many local associations step up to the plate and make these goals happen.
Louisiana REALTORS® wants to recognize the Local Associations in our state and commend all the hardworking PAT members for their efforts. Out of 436 local associations, we had 6 recognized as Triple Crown. In order to receive Triple Crown, you must meet or exceed National RPAC fundraising goals and participation. And out of 224 Local Associations, we had 6 recognized for President’s Cup. In order to qualify for President’s Cup, there must be a response rate of 20% or more on NAR Calls for Action.
Louisiana REALTORS® overall was recognized for achieving the President’s Cup for the 5th year in a row!
