DCAR Public Policy Committee mission:
The Public Policy Committee analyzes pending and proposed legislation in D.C. It establishes DCAR's official stance on a variety of issues and ensures the association's advocacy presence in the District.
 
The Public Policy Committee meets throughout the calendar year and committee meetings are held once a month in person at the DCAR offices. Members who have three unexcused absences will be removed from the committee.

Experience and requirements for application:
  • Applicants should have an understanding of local legislation and politics.
  • Committee members are occasionally asked to participate in various activities at the Wilson Building. Examples of such include testifying at D.C. City Council hearings, meeting with councilmembers and their staffs, and showing support for colleagues in public testimonies.
  • Members of the committee are expected to attend Speaker Series and various association events, respond to calls for action and invest in RPAC.
  • Members will ideally recruit other REALTOR® members to participate in events, hearings, initiatives and join the PPC.
  • Members will be asked to get feedback on the issues at hand with PPC and be recognized as the face and voice of the PPC at your brokerage and brokerage sales meetings.
  • Members are encouraged to join one or more sub-committees to further advance the mission and initiatives of the full committee. Activities of the committee may include: events/programming, social media outreach and grassroots campaigns, calls to action efforts, councilmember relationship building, leadership development and brokerage communication outreach.
