Advocacy & Outreach The Akron Cleveland Association of REALTORS® has long committed staff and resources for governmental affairs. We believe advocacy and lobby efforts are essential to protecting our profession and the environment in which we work in. While our staff and committed volunteers do a superb job of keeping track of upcoming legislation that may affect the real estate industry, we occasionally receive tips from members who are not generally involved with our government affairs activities but have encountered issues that need to be addressed by ACAR. If you encounter legislation that could possibly affect our industry, whether good or bad, please contact our Government Affairs Department, Jamie McMillen : (216) 525-4834. -- Issues & Legislative News ACAR on the Issues Report a Problem REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Learn more about RPAC Local RPAC News RPAC Events Invest in RPAC - the 2024 year is open until November 30.
