An army of Texas REALTORS® staff have been busy for months already preparing for one of the biggest showcase events of the association, REALTOR® Day at the Texas Capitol. Every other year, during the legislative session, thousands of Texas REALTORS® come to Austin to advocate on behalf of the industry and consumers on key issues.
On that day, Texas REALTORS® hosts all of these members to a barbecue lunch on P2 and invites them up for an Open House in the office. More than half of these members will have never been to the Texas REALTORS® Building before, so it's our chance as staff to show off the Building and showcase the valuable programs and services that each department works so hard to deliver. In 2023, it's going to be doubly impactful as the event will also coincide with NAR's Riding with the Brand outreach tour.
The message below will soon be delivered to members to promote the event. Stay tuned as we'll be working internally as a full staff to gear up for a great event.
"Mark your calendars for an exciting REALTOR® Day at the Texas Capitol on March 22, 2023.
Arrive by 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 22 as we kick off our Texas REALTOR® Day rally and Ride with the Brand with NAR President Kenny Parcell on the South side of the Capitol.
Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., legislative meetings will be scheduled within the Capitol to discuss issues affecting Texas real estate. Soon we will release the Texas REALTOR Day at the Capitol Website which will include all the details about lead contacts, your elected officials, office maps, talking points(updated closer to the event), and protocols for scheduling appointments.
A barbecue lunch will be offered on the street-level of the Texas REALTORS® building at 1115 San Jacinto Blvd.—just East of the Texas Capitol. Members will have the opportunity to view the Riding with the Brand NAR bus, and a chance to win the custom REALTOR®-branded 2022 Harley Davidson FLTRX by donating to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. Plan to meet all the Texas REALTORS® staff and check out our building by joining the Open House festivities on the 2nd floor.
This year, due to the supplemental funding from NAR’s Ride with the Brand Grant, each association may be reimbursed up to $1,000 for travel expenses and/or lunch tickets. Please plan your arrival and departures so that you won’t miss out on all the great activities we have planned for you. Keep an eye out for updates as we finalize details. For questions, contact Advocacy Communications Manager Morgan O’Hanlon.
