GLAR NEWS - WEEK OF APRIL 3, 2017
REALTORS Needed for LPC Network 

The Local Political Coordinator (LPC) Network seeks to match REALTORSĀ® with their member of Metro Council in a positive, one-on-one relationship. The intent is to maintain, enhance and foster high quality, local REALTORĀ® contacts with Metro Council Members regarding real estate issues. When a key issue is being considered at Metro Council, specific members of the LPC Network will be mobilized to relay the industry's position to their designated councilperson.  We are seeking members who are voters in that Metro Council Member's District, who know them well, and who would be willing to be our industries liaison to that Council Member.
 
If you know a current member of the Metro Council and want to be a part of this exciting grassroots program, please complete this form and return to Lauren Kelty via email at Lauren@LouisvilleRealtors.com . For questions about the program please contact Lisa Stephenson at Lisa@LouisvilleRealtors.com or 502-894-9860.
