Operative words
Due to recent restrictions and recommendations implemented by the federal and Washington, D.C. governments, the National Association of Realtors announced Wednesday that it will deliver previously-planned programming and committee meetings virtually. With the Centers for Disease Control issuing guidance limiting discretionary travel and large gatherings, and the city of Washington, D.C. instituting a state of emergency to limit the spread of COVID-19, we will no longer hold the 2020 REALTORS Legislative Meetings and Trade Expo in person from May 11-16
