NVR Executive selected to join President during Friday address
 Nevada Realtors® CEO Teresa McKee joined President Donald Trump as he addressed a room of nearly 2,000 Realtors® at the National Association of Realtors®' Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo last Friday. The President highlighted the value of Realtors® in the housing industry while addressing administration priorities and deregulation efforts that could potentially benefit the real estate market. McKee teamed with the President on stage to promote the value of association health care plans and Nevada's work leading the charge for real estate associations nationwide.
McKee was one of just two guest speakers from the real estate world who got to join Trump in addressing the large crowd. McKee stressed that association health care plans provide a needed service for Realtors®, offering improved health care options while also saving money on premiums.
"I was honored for the opportunity to share some time with President Trump, discuss the association health care plan issues with our members and represent our great state and association here in Nevada," McKee said. Click here to read more. |
