The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a large and diverse group of REALTORS® who are extremely engaged professionally and politically in the real estate industry. The YPN RPAC Pledge aims to encourage 1,000 YPN members to pledge to invest a total of $10,000 over a 10-year period. Interested YPN members must sign up for the program online and start with a minimum investment of $100. There are also suggestions on how members can reach their goal of $10,000 in 10 years. A member must invest a minimum of $100 per year in order to remain in the program.
The YPN RPAC Pledge promotes a culture of investing in RPAC while increasing participation in the Major Investor program by fostering a strong group of politically-engaged YPN members. By signing the pledge, YPN members are creating RPAC awareness in their communities and articulating the value of investing in RPAC.
Mission

NAR’s President’s Circle
The President’s Circle is an influential group of REALTORS® who contribute directly to REALTOR®-friendly candidates at the federal level. Political Action Committees, like our REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC), can only legally contribute $10,000 per election cycle to a Congressional candidate. The President’s Circle Program supports REALTOR® Party Champions – Members of Congress who have made significant achievements in advancing the REALTOR® public policy agenda. The President’s Circle Program allows REALTORS® to contribute beyond RPAC dollars and increase the strength of the REALTOR® voice on Capitol Hill.
For more information on the Major Investor Programs or President’s Circle, including how to join, contact NOMAR Government Affairs.
As a member of the REALTOR® Party, you invest in your business by giving to the Louisiana REALTORS® Political Action Committee (LARPAC), and help LARPAC build the bipartisan relationships necessary at all levels of government to ensure a sound and dynamic real estate market. Funds are split evenly on a three-way agreement between NOMPAT, LARPAC, and RPAC (NAR’s REALTOR® Political Action Committee).
LARPAC/RPAC contributions are used to support REALTOR® Party Champions and to communicate the Association’s official position on public policy issues affecting real estate.
To invest in LARPAC/RPAC, please contact NOMAR at (504)885-3200.
