Meet your 2023 DAAR President
IDA DENNIS
I have been a REALTOR® member of DAAR since 2015.
The Q3 2023 Letter to the DAAR Membership:
Dear DAAR Members,
Summer is in full swing, and July officially marks the halfway point of my year as President. While this time of year can be busy for REALTORS®, I hope we can all take a moment to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together in the last six months, while also looking ahead to the many exciting opportunities still to come.
One opportunity I would strongly encourage you to consider is taking your involvement to the next level by applying to serve as a member of DAAR’s Board of Directors. As I mentioned in my installation speech back in December, I believe that we should all play our part by being active and engaged in the Association, and this is the perfect chance to do just that. If you’d like to apply, be sure to fill out this form by July 31.
With this year’s election quickly approaching, I sincerely hope that you will also consider the significance of your contributions to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) and how they play a pivotal role in protecting your business. By contributing to RPAC, you actively participate in the candidate endorsement process and selection of REALTOR® champions who will tirelessly advocate for our interests and work to secure a brighter future for our profession and the clients we serve.
Together, let’s make a difference and continue to shape the real estate industry by contributing to RPAC. Your support matters, and your contribution helps ensure that our voices are heard and that pro-REALTOR® candidates are elected to champion our cause.
Giving back to the local Loudoun community has always been a fundamental part of our DAAR culture, and we’ll once again gather for DAAR’s charity bowling event and auction, Sips & Strikes, on August 28. This year’s event will be held in honor of long-time DAAR member and volunteer, Sandy Loftis. All proceeds will be donated to DAAR’s 2023 charitable partners, Mobile Hope and Women Giving Back. I hope to see you all there!
Finally, I did want to provide a gentle reminder that your 2023-2024 Local, State and National REALTOR® membership dues must be paid in full by July 31 to avoid a late fee.
As we navigate the remainder of the year, I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to not only lead our Association forward, but also make a tremendous impact in our profession and the communities we serve.
Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or suggestions at president@dullesarea.com.
Sincerely,
Allan Marteney
2023 DAAR President
