Let’s start with the general geography. WeSERV is under the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) umbrella. Under the NAR model there is one national association, several state and territorial associations (one for each state/territory), and local associations.
There is the National Association of REATORS®, the Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AR – also known as Arizona REALTORS®), and WeSERV Association of REALTORS® (West and Southeast REALTORS® of the Valley). WeSERV’s, jurisdiction includes West Maricopa County, Southeast Maricopa County, Pinal, Cochise and Santa Cruz.
At the local level, we don’t lobby. We provide information, education, and market context in an effort to provide valuable, usable information for local government discussions with the public on issues of importance. In most cases you may find our special reports online at www.weservgad.org.
At WeSERV Government Affairs we understand that local government is different than federal or state. For starters, when we speak of local government affairs, we are speaking of our neighbors who serve as elected officials or volunteers on boards and commissions. We know them from the activities of daily life. They are as invested in the community as we are. That allows us to begin from a mutual acknowledgment that WeSERV cares about the community and the local officials and staff care about the community.
This year we are changing the format of WeSERV Government Affairs meetings. We are combining an opening information event and open member forum before the formal government affairs meeting. Members are encouraged and invited to attend all or some of the morning with us. You can find a full calendar of WeSERV Government Affairs events and meetings at www.weservgad.org.
I hope you will consider joining us for our March special event on March 22nd :Coffee with Representative Lesko at 10am in our Peoria office. If you have questions you would like have asked of Representative Lesko, please send those to me at weservgad@weserv.realtor.
We are currently seeking WeSERV members who would like to sit on a candidate interview workgroup in April or May. We will be interviewing candidates for pre-selected races in each of our chapters and need members to sit on those workgroups asking questions and discussing candidates. If you are interested in interviewing candidates running for office in your chapter area, please call or email me.
