In an environment filled with noisy headlines, REALTOR® association executives play an important role in reinforcing the value of working with a professional who is a REALTOR®. In the Summer 2025 issue, we outline how AEs are doing just that through ad campaigns, community events, webinars, videos and social media—helping to position members as local experts and trusted guides and their associations as strong consumer advocates and community builders. For the first time, AEs can now leverage NAR's consumer ad campaign assets. Also is this issue: building commercial and affiliate membership, honing your interview skills, and a Q&A with Greater Los Angeles REALTORS® CEO Wyndi Austin.
