Role of the RVP
The Regional Vice Presidents of the National Association of REALTORS® consist of 13 elected individuals who are appointed to oversee the work of the National Association in their respective region and act as the representative of the President in such matters as may be assigned to them.
In addition to serving as the spokesperson for the Association in their respective region, the RVP identifies problems or opportunities within the region and assists wherever possible.
It is the responsibility of the RVP to attend their regional State Conventions as well as the two annual meetings of the National Association, and to chair the regional caucus meetings (held at both the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings and NAR NXT, The REALTOR® Experience) to conduct regional business affairs and exchange information.
