On Thursday, September 2, Arizona’s most politically active REALTOR® members will meet at the Scottsdale Chaparral Suite for the annual REALTOR® Caucus to help provide AAR with input on current issues affecting the real estate industry as well as to discuss recommendations for possible legislative or regulatory actions in the coming legislative session.

 

From across fifteen counties, residing in many of Arizona’s 90 towns and cities REALTOR® delegates appointed to represent Arizona’s 21 local boards and associations take time away from their busy schedules for a town hall style meeting to review, discuss and frankly debate the current issues impacting real estate industry-related  issues and practices.

 

Any key recommendations  from these discussions and collaborative roll calls will then be forwarded to AAR’s Legislative & Political Affairs Committee and then to the AAR Board of Directors for approval. The annual REALTOR® Caucus is a long-held tradition, and is the start of the ‘new year’ for the AAR’s assessment of the state of Arizona public policy.  The Legislature begins its Regular Session each year on the second Monday of January, as prescribed in the state constitution, and the REALTOR® Caucus proceeds the State Capitol’s autumn season of bill drafting and bill sponsor-seeking efforts by stakeholder groups that sets the stage for live legislation during the 2011 session.
