INVESTING IN OUR NETWORK

It is a true honor to serve as the Chair of the RRAR REALTOR® Giving Network (RGN) alongside 20 dedicated Board members. We share a collective passion for engaging our fellow REALTORS® to be part of the solution to prevent and end homelessness and to help our neighbors secure affordable housing.

I’ve always believed in the transformative power of service. This core value, instilled in me from a young age, is what drives my commitment to RGN. It is my personal and professional outlet for giving back to the community where we live and work.

RGN’s mission is to harness the collective giving power of REALTORS® and our partners to improve housing solutions. We provide our members with a powerful opportunity to impact housing well beyond their individual transactions. 

We know REALTORS® are a giving group; a recent study indicated that nearly 70% of NAR members volunteer at least eight hours monthly. RGN is your premier source for volunteerism and giving to our local housing community. I am eager to dive in this year and maximize our collective impact.

I invite you to join us. Whether you attend fundraisers like our “Rising Together for Homes” brunch in April; “Paddles for a Purpose” Pickleball Tournament in December; volunteer on Give Back Day in May or make a donation from your closings or once a year… you will be increasing the investment RGN makes in local housing nonprofits to transition individuals and families experiencing homelessness to home ownership one day. 

As Margaret Mead famously said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Together, let’s change the reality for our unhoused neighbors.
