"Congratulations on winning this award,” said Sara Lipnitz, NAR’s RPAC Fundraising Trustees Committee Chair. “I’m proud of the work you do and have been so thrilled that I’ve had the opportunity to help with your advocacy efforts.
“Our strength comes from members and staff like you who help shape the future of our REALTOR Party efforts to Vote, Act and Invest on behalf of real estate,” Lipnitz added. “Know that you guys are running a great program.”
Credit for attaining the Triple Crown in back-to-back years goes to Immediate Past President Anjanette Frye, our 2019 Political Activity & RPAC Fundraising Committee Chair Cole Cannon and the thousands of REALTORS across our great state who made an investment in strengthening the industry’s voice at all levels of government, said Ohio REALTORS Chief Executive Officer Scott Williams.
"We’ve been able to raise the bar of RPAC excellence in Ohio because of the vision, persistence and dedication of AJ, Cole and, most importantly, the REALTORS who graciously shared their personal treasure to advance the industry’s mission to protect private property rights,” Williams said. “Achieving Triple Crown for the second straight year is a remarkable accomplishment, a testament to our organization’s land-standing leadership in strengthening RPAC.”
