NAR President's Circle

What is the President’s Circle?

The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is limited in the amount we can legally contribute to federal candidates per election. While many other PACs also have the resources to contribute the maximum amount to Congressional candidates, they do not have the grassroots power that REALTORS® have. Thus, the President’s Circle program was developed in 2003 to mobilize members to invest directly in REALTOR® Champions who take the lead on our issues in Congress. NAR lobbyists communicate with the REALTOR® Champions and provide them with a list of everyone who supported their campaign via the President’s Circle, so they are aware of the amount invested under the “REALTOR® umbrella” in addition to RPAC funds.

 

President’s Circle members invest $1,000 or more in RPAC each year and $2,000 to REALTOR® Champions via the President’s Circle website.
