Why RPAC is Important
RPAC is a powerful tool that protects homeowners and REALTORS® every day. It may be tempting to look at the relative ease with which you can practice real estate in Illinois and assume that today’s marketplace evolved naturally, that policy makers had your interests in mind all along. But that’s just not so. Without the work of RPAC at the local, state, and national level, you’d be inundated in red tape and legal liability, and your customers and clients would have a steeper climb toward homeownership.
Hosts
The event is hosted by Mainstreet YPN & RPAC Committees, Women’s Council of REALTORS® Northwest, and Women’s Council of REALTORS® West Suburban.
