GLAR News: May 27, 2025 - REALTOR DIRECT

Your voice matters! Help shape the future of your Association by completing our annual Member Survey. Your feedback directly impacts our strategic planning and will influence the programs, services, and initiatives we prioritize moving forward.

As a thank you for participating, everyone who completes the survey this week will be entered into a random drawing for a $50 gift card! We truly appreciate your commitment to our REALTOR® community. Your insights help us grow stronger as an organization and continue to support your business success.

We’re launching a new initiative that will help members and offices stay better connected, more informed, and fully equipped to take advantage of all the resources and benefits the Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS® has to offer — the NEW GLAR Ambassador Program.

The goal is simple -- to strengthen communication by having a designated Ambassador in each office who can share timely updates, promote GLAR happenings, highlight member tools and programs, and serve as a trusted go-to for association information. Ensuring you don’t miss out on any opportunities that can support your professional growth and business success.

What do GLAR Ambassadors do?
👉 Shares key updates and announcements from GLAR
👉 Promotes upcoming events and encourages participation
👉 Highlights valuable tools, benefits, and services
👉 Engages with our social media and spreads the word
👉 Acts as a liaison between your office and GLAR
