2009 National Events
The NAR National Events Committee is pleased to announce that the following NAR national events for 2009 have been awarded. The NAR's national events happen each year only because NAR sections and NAR members voluntarily step forward to "take their turn" in running them for all of us. They move around the US as much as possible, although this is dependent on getting volunteers to submit bids. Many thanks to the sections and event directors who have agreed to host these important NAR member services in 2009.
