Spring Into Action Conference Recap

Louisiana REALTORS® • June 6, 2022

Louisiana REALTORS® successfully hosted the annual Spring Into Action legislative conference in Baton Rouge on May 16-18, 2022


The two-day event provided REALTORS® the latest areas in industry changing issues while engaging in conversations with the state’s legislators and their peers.


The conference offered informational sessions and continuing education for REALTORS® in attendance.  Lynn Madison kicked off with an in depth look at compensation and disclosures, while Gilbert Giron with FEMA detailed the methodology around the new Risk Rating 2.0 system that seems to be impacting flood insurance policies across the state.


Keynote speaker, Robert Siciliano, provided valuable information on cyber security and how to better protect our clients and ourselves against data breaches in real estate transactions. REALTORS® heard from House Speaker Clay Schexnayder and LA Politics’ Jeremy Alford on important happenings in the session and the priorities around the legislature. The Louisiana Department of Health engaged in a productive roundtable discussion regarding problems that arise when their clients are buying or selling properties with septic tanks. Participants also learned about issues facing local governments with lead pipes.

After a successful visit to the Capitol, our REALTORS® enjoyed live music and crawfish at a reception with their Legislators and peers. During this reception, REALTOR® of the Year and the Lawrence R. DeMarcay Distinguished Service Awards were presented. Congratulations to Logan Morris on receiving the REALTOR® of the Year Award and to Barbara Trice for receiving the Lawrence R. DeMarcay Distinguished Service Award.


Louisiana REALTORS® looks forward to hosting REALTORS® from around the state at the Fall Governance Meetings and Installation, October 4-5, 2022.
