YPN's Networking with RPAC   

KCRAR's Young Professionals Network would like to thank the RPAC Trustees for a great time at their May 10 RPAC Networking Event. YPN'ers mingled with RPAC Trustees and Major Donors to find out what RPAC is doing to save their hard-earned dollars.

 

KCRAR President Steve Banks opened the evening with some great remarks about how RPAC affects both REALTORS® and affiliate members. Kristi Soligo-Fleshman then spoke about her personal experiences with RPAC and what she gets out of being a Major Donor. Thanks to everyone who came out and participated in this informative and fun event - YPN hopes to see you all again at the RPAC Auctions this spring and summer!
