Professional Development Subcommittee
As a reminder, the Professional Development Subcommittee considers programming for the Association Deep Dive and AE Seminar sessions in June. We’ll host our first (and hopefully only) meeting will be on March 18 at 2pm and shouldn’t last more than an hour. After the first meeting we’ll try to provide updates and make decisions by email. If you would like to participate in this subcommittee to help shape the June sessions, please email Jon Houser by March 18 to receive the calendar invite.
Local Election Deadline Approaching
Does one of your local TREPAC candidates face a tough election on May 3? Consider applying for a Direct Campaign Expenditure (also called an Independent Expenditure).
This activity costs your association nothing and is is a great way to help your candidate of choice, increase brand awareness, and build your reputation. Plus it helps with Core Standards!
Applications due by COB Friday, 3/21. Contact Brandon Alderete for more information.

Leader Link
Texas REALTORS® recently announced an initiative called Leader Link to promote the value of membership. Materials that local association’s can share or co-brand such as videos, slide decks, and talking points are available at this link.
Fraudulent Emails
Texas REALTORS® staff have recently received suspicious emails that appear to be file shares from local AEs. We have confirmed in each case that they are fraudulent, but please note that if you do intend to share something with Texas REALTORS® staff it might be beneficial to send a separate email indicating the validity of what you’re sharing.
