My Realtor Party
NAR and GAR have greatly upped our political advocacy efforts and visibility. SABOR is also stepping up to the plate and has been involved in local campaigns for politicians who are proven property rights supporters. Our RPAC dollars go to candidates
who are property rights advocates . In a first for our board, we held a robo call for one of our own, Lori Brady. Other candidates from both parties received our support. We as a group supported the TSPLOST efforts of the Chambers of Commerce in Bryan, Chatham and Effingham Counties.
Our Legislative issues this year were from all three counties and included sign ordinance in Bryan County, UZO (Unified Zoning Ordinance) in Chatham County and Land Use issue for Effingham County.
We encourage all our members to bring issues and candidates to our attention, if they impact our business.
Global Alliance and Cultural Diversity was a new initiative this year. With our area being a business hub for a number of culturally diverse businesses, we wanted to offer members the opportunity to expand into those areas.
This workgroup has been a sponsor of HOLA (Hispanic and Latin American Students Scholarship Program) at Armstrong Atlantic University. We had an expert panel discussion for Fair Housing Month and in addition supported the First Civil Rights Breakfast at Savannah State University. Our members donated to the TIES program, a group of male mentors to help youth get into the workforce. During GRI, in Savannah, we hosted a Global Alliance Party featuring the new head of the World Trade Center in Savannah. Last but not least, SABOR was the official sponsor for the picnic judging for the hugely popular Picnic in the Park in October. We hope these activities, and the publicity they generated, will put SABOR and our Realtor Members in a good light to the public and show that Realtors care about our community.
All in all, it has been a good year for Governmental Affairs and I appreciate all the hard work and contributions of you, your committees, affiliates and members-at-large.
