Sue Walsh Inducted into RPAC Hall of Fame

NAR REALTOR PARTY | Sue Walsh Inducted into RPAC Hall of Fame

It is with great pride that SAMCAR congratulates Sue Walsh on her recent induction into the National Association of REALTORS® RPAC Hall of Fame at the $50,000 level. She joins an elite group of individuals that believe strongly in organized real estate and the REALTOR® Action Fund as demonstrated by her exceptional level of investment.

"I strongly believe that Realtor donation and involvement in the political world of the real estate industry ensures the best legislators and best legislation for our clients, homeowners and property rights," Walsh shared, adding "without this we do not have an industry or an income."

The Hall of Fame recognizes dedicated members who have made a significant commitment to RPAC over the years by investing an aggregate lifetime amount of at least $25,000.

Walsh is slated to be installed as a Hall of Fame member at the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington D.C., and will be recognized during the 2025 Legislative Day Briefing on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 as part of C.A.R. Legislative Day.

Among the Hall of Fame benefits are inductee names prominently featured on the RPAC Hall of Fame wall located on NAR's Washington, D.C. building rooftop, a personal plaque commemorating the installation and recognition pins with the Hall of Fame designation.

In addition to this prestigious achievement, Sue Walsh has also served SAMCAR with distinction as a committee chair, director, Past President, Federal Political Contact for Congressman Mullin, and as a C.A.R. Director for Life.

Congratulations to Sue Walsh on this extraordinary accomplishment and well-deserved recognition!
