In case you’ve been too busy to look at some of the Capitol Conference photo galleries posted on this blog and shared through social media, today’s gallery provides the best images taken by photographers before and during the conference.
Hard to believe a week has gone by since more than 700 REALTORS® from all parts of the state traveled to the State Capitol to show legislators the power of our state association, its commitment to preserving private property rights and protecting the real estate industry. Events celebrated community involvement, support for Fair Housing and ways to get more involved in local politics.
