Mission

The Texas REALTORS® Political Involvement Committee (PIC) directs and supports participation in the association’s grassroots political advocacy initiatives.

About the PIC

As part of the association’s regional leadership structure, the PIC serves as a conduit of information and political intel between local boards and Texas REALTORS®.

While every region has different needs, PIC members are generally charged with increasing REALTOR® grassroots participation in the association’s political advocacy efforts.  

These efforts can include candidate recruitment and training, REALTOR®- and public-voter registration and turnout, candidate interviews, Opportunity Races (REALTOR®-facing political campaigns), legislative contact-team (LCT), calls for action, local issues campaigns support, and related efforts.

PIC members also give regular political updates at local REALTOR® meetings and Texas REALTOR® events.

Criteria

  • At least 22 members, composed of a Chair, Vice Chair, Liaison, Immediate Past Chair; at least one REALTOR® member from each Texas REALTORS® region; one Local Government Affairs Director; one YPN appointee; and one Commercial appointee
  • Regional PIC terms are two years
  • Regional PIC members may serve two consecutive 2-year terms
  • Local Government Affairs Directors, YPN, and Commercial terms are for two years
  • Additional needs-based appointments are for one year (at Leadership Team’s discretion)

Application and Nomination Process

To be considered for the PIC, Texas REALTOR® members must submit an application and participate in an interview with PIC Leadership. Final committee appointments are made by the Texas REALTORS® Leadership Team, based on recommendations from the PIC Leadership.

Letters of recommendation should be submitted to the Director of Political Affairs.
