Each year, NAR holds all REALTORS® Associations to a set of "Core Standards" intended to raise the bar for Associations, standards which must be certified by the end of every year. These standards, in six categories, have been in place since 2014. In 2021 new standards were added to include a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) component, along with an increased emphasis on fair housing. RANW updated our Strategic Plan and will continue to prioritize these goals in education and advocacy into 2022, as we have for many years. For more info on education opportunities related to fair housing and DEI, check out our April newsletter celebrating Fair Housing Month.
