2010 RPAC Issues Conference Report
CAR Past President, Kit Cowperthwaite and a few other REALTOR volunteers attended the REALTOR Political Action Committee Issues Conference in San Diego. They came away from this conference more convinced than ever of the need for CAR to nurture solid relationships with Congressional friends on both sides of the aisle.
