Promoting Pro-Real Estate Policies & Protecting Property Rights.

The REALTORS® Legislative Meetings, held this week in Washington, D.C., brought together thousands of members to conduct the business of NAR and unite for a common cause—advancing the real estate profession through powerful, impactful policy advocacy.

BAR leadership was in attendance advocating for our local REALTORS® by visiting Capital Hill and attending Governance Meetings. Be sure to stop Amber Parish, Angela Klein-Hughes, Billie Parrott, JoAnn Callahan, Rochelle Houghton or Jami Clark and visit with them about their participation and advocacy in D.C.

What a wonderful evening celebrating the amazing Affiliates who support our REALTOR® community!

Last night's Affiliate Appreciation Celebration was filled with laughter, great conversations, delicious food, and plenty of fun. Most importantly, we hope every Affiliate who attended left feeling appreciated and valued for all they do throughout the year.

As a special thank you, each Affiliate received a gift from the Billings Association of REALTORS®, including delicious Martinson's Candy from 2026 President Laura Drager and a gift card to a local coffee shop or restaurant all donated by our REALTOR® members.

Our REALTORS® truly showed their generosity and appreciation. Thanks to the incredible raffle donations provided by our members, every Affiliate in attendance went home with a raffle gift! The outpouring of support was a wonderful reflection of the strong partnerships that make our association so successful.

And then there was Music Bingo! 🎶🎉 DJ Fluffy Cloud (aka Tony Parish) kept everyone laughing, singing along, and competing for some fantastic prizes. Congratulations to all of our Bingo winners who took home some great gifts!

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated prizes, and helped make the evening so special. We are grateful for the partnerships, friendships, and support that strengthen our REALTOR® family every day.

❤️ Affiliates, we hope you enjoyed the evening and left feeling the LOVE!
