To put a powerful cap on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Illinois REALTORS® is proud to share a presidential chat between Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) Greater Chicago’s President Peter de Jong and Illinois REALTORS® President Sue Miller. The video kicks off with an engaging “mini-doc” that provides AREAA’s history and recent accomplishments.

A background and passion for politics and service led de Jong to get involved with AREAA Greater Chicago.

“Being part of a trade organization pushes you to be active, to not necessarily sit back and accept whatever news or event might be coming,” de Jong says. “It requires you to listen, be respectful and think through what is happening and then take action.”
