The National Association of REALTORS® awarded the 2019 Platinum Global Achievement Program Award to the Triangle International Council of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® at the Annual Conference & Expo in San Francisco, CA. The Association staff and volunteer leaders demonstrated high levels of achievement in the five evaluated categories: Business Plan, Marketing & Communication, Events/Education, Outreach, and Benchmarking.

In addition to excelling in the above categories and providing their members with quality networking, research, and education events, the Triangle International Council has taken their global understanding from inside the association out into the local, state, national, and international community. Armed with research that shows there is no lack of international interest in their region and the leadership to see into the future, they have forged strong partnerships with the Wake County EDC, NC Economic Development Council, City council members, and mayors and have had those entities speak to their members directly. They also sponsored the 33rd Annual Raleigh International Festival - a community-wide event – to connect to and show support of their expanding local international community.

Listen to Casey Angel, VP of Policy & Engagement and Andrew Sims, CEO of Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS® discuss these topics live on Episode 1 of NAR's Platinum Perspectives Series.

In 2018, they held Platinum. In 2011, 2016, and 2017 Triangle International Council held Gold; and from 2012 to 2015 they held Silver.
