This training provides hands-on assistance and time-tested templates to state and local associations that want to screen, identify and ultimately help elect political candidates who will represent the issues important to REALTORS\u00ae and real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Following this class, attendees will be able to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Relay the policy issues and articulate the candidate selection committee\u2019s goals for the coming year for the association they are serving;<\/li>\n<li>Outline their committee\u2019s process and criteria for candidate support;<\/li>\n<li>Assess a candidate\u2019s chances for winning; and<\/li>\n<li>Identify the best practice methods when selecting and supporting REALTOR\u00ae Champions for office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Classes are sponsored by state and local REALTOR\u00ae Associations, under their association name and at their chosen facility. NAR recommends maximizing your offering by inviting volunteer leaders to be trained at a statewide meeting.<\/p>\n<p>NAR provides training materials to those associations who wish to sponsor this course for their members. NAR does not charge a fee for use of the course materials, but we do ask that you alert us of your <em>Best Practices for Choosing REALTOR\u00ae Champions <\/em>course so that we may track the use of this offering.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 GADs and association staff around the country have been certified as trainers for this course. If you are interested in having one of these trainers lead a Best Practices class for your association, please contact <a href=\"mailto:jwinston@nar.realtor\">John Winston<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"row\"><ul class=\"sort-destination isotope gallery-items\" data-sort-id=\"gallery\"><li class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-6 col-xs-6 grid-item gallery-grid-item term-1584  format-video\">\r\n                          \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P4gUpLtu_A4\" class=\"media-box magnific-video\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realtorparty.realtor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Candidate-Training-Academy-Session-5-600x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-borntogive-600x400 size-borntogive-600x400 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/a>\r\n                            <div class=\"grid-item-content\">\r\n                                <p>Best Practices for Choosing REALTOR\u00ae Champions Course &#8211;

This training provides hands-on assistance and time-tested templates to state and local associations that want to screen, identify and ultimately help elect political candidates who will represent the issues important to REALTORS\u00ae and real estate. Following this class, attendees will be able to: Relay the policy issues and articulate the candidate selection committee\u2019s goals for the coming year for the association they are serving; Outline their committee\u2019s process and criteria for candidate support; Assess a candidate\u2019s chances for winning; and Identify the best practice methods when selecting and supporting REALTOR\u00ae Champions for office. Classes are sponsored by state and local REALTOR\u00ae Associations, under their association name and at their chosen facility. NAR recommends maximizing your offering by inviting volunteer leaders to be trained at a statewide meeting. NAR provides training materials to those associations who wish to sponsor this course for their members. NAR does not charge a fee for use of the course materials, but we do ask that you alert us of your Best Practices for Choosing REALTOR\u00ae Champions course so that we may track the use of this offering. More than 100 GADs and association staff around the country have been certified as trainers for this course. If you are interested in having one of these trainers lead a Best Practices class for your association, please contact John Winston.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Last Name First Name Prim Assoc.
