NAREIT stands ready to better inform Members of Congress on your company’s activities. Please contact us about your company’s upcoming projects. We encourage you to get involved with the growing grassroots program at NAREIT. A few examples of several recent events are highlighted below. It is NAREIT’s intent to continue to facilitate these grassroot opportunities, where appropriate, with our members in the future. These events, carefully coordinated with the local company, have created a greater understanding about REITs on Capitol Hill. Through onsite visits, ribbon-cuttings, and private meetings, key policymakers have been educated on REITs and what role the publicly-traded real estate industry plays in the local economy. NAREIT has successfully connected Members of Congress with REITs that own and operate properties within their local districts and states.
