Governmental Affairs

Designed to allow REALTORS® to participate in the public policy process at the local, state and national levels, HRRA's governmental affairs program protects the professional interests of all Hampton Roads REALTORS®. Our primary goals are to protect private property rights, promote economic development, and maintain a pro-business environment conducive to the practice of real estate.

Get Involved

Members are encouraged to get involved by signing up to serve on the GA Action Team in the City in which they live and vote. You are welcome to join more than one GA Action Team. Also, be sure to mark your calendars for the Government Affairs Committee Meetings the first Friday of every month from Noon to 1pm. Check this month's calendar
