Kentucky Association of REALTORS® ABOUT the Kentucky Association of REALTORS® The Kentucky Association of REALTORS® was founded in 1923 and represents over 9,500 members who are involved in all aspects of real estate, including residential and commercial real estate brokers, sales agents, developers, builders, property managers, office managers, appraisers and auctioneers. As it stands, the Kentucky Association of REALTORS® (KAR) is one of the largest and most influential associations in Kentucky. KAR works diligently to preserve and enhance the rights and privileges of the owners of private property. Since its inception, KAR has worked successfully to advance home ownership, real estate investment, private property rights and the free enterprise system in Congress, the halls of Frankfort - the state capital - and with public officials from local and county agencies throughout Kentucky. The Association also exists to support and enhance the ability of members to succeed in their business in an ethical and competent manner. The Association is governed by a leadership team comprised of a President, Board of Directors and Delegate Body and served by volunteer committees. An important aspect of the many successes earned by the Kentucky Association of REALTORS® over the years is through the dedication of these volunteers who have contributed countless hours to its advancement. An association staff of 8, led by the Chief Executive Officer, is given the responsibility for the operations and implementation of the programs, products and services provided to its members. All KAR members belong to one or more of the 21 local REALTOR® associations statewide and the National Association of REALTORS®. By becoming a REALTOR®, members are designated by a registered trademark. The term “REALTOR®,” other derivatives of the word, and the “block ‘R’ logo" are limited to use by REALTORS®. Additionally, when an agent becomes a REALTOR®, he or she agrees to abide by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®' Code of Ethics, which ensures the highest level of professionalism from each individual member. Local associations, with support from the state and national associations, are charged with enforcement of the Code of Ethics and protection of the membership marks. The Kentucky Association of REALTORS® serves as a conduit to growth, knowledge and professionalism for its members and the real estate industry as a whole. The Association is committed to delivering its members the very finest tools and information to help them succeed - and to meet the needs of today's property buying and selling consumers. Members of KAR receive several invaluable benefits and privileges as a result of their membership. These benefits include educational offerings to satisfy industry requirements, lobbying efforts on multiple levels of government, arbitration and mediation for disputes and conflict resolution, governmental affairs support, political engagement through the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC), timely communications and publications about housing and real estate issues as well as meetings and other membership events. As "The Voice for Real Estate™ in Kentucky," a primary value of KAR is to serve and represent its members in regulatory and legislative matters; to keep the REALTOR® central to the real estate transaction; to promote member integrity, competency and responsible citizenship; and to advocate and protect private property rights and equal housing opportunity. Bottom Line: KAR helps protect a marketplace for consumers to buy, own and transfer real estate - a system that is emulated globally and one that REALTORS® dedicate themselves to protect. 2801 Palumbo Drive • Suite 202 • Lexington, KY 40509 • (800) 264-2185 ph • (859) 263-7565 fax • www.kar.com 2016 KAR & NAR Meeting Schedule KAR Legislative & Business Meeting Embassy Suites Lexington, KY February 8 - 11 NAR AE Institute San Antonio, TX March 11 - 14 KAR Broker Summit Hilton Garden Inn Louisville, KY April 20 NAR Legislative Meeting Washington, DC May 9 - 14 KAR Summer Business Meeting Crowne Plaza Louisville, KY June 7 - 10 NAR Leadership Summit Chicago, IL August 22 - 23 KAR Annual Convention & Expo Marriott Griffin Gate Lexington, KY September 19 - 22 NAR Conference & Expo Orlando, FL November 4 - 7 KAR Leadership Conference Lexington, KY Location/Dates TBD 1 Kentucky Association of REALTORS® 2801 Palumbo, Suite 202 Lexington, Kentucky 40509 Phone (859) 263-7377 Toll Free (800) 264-2185 Fax (859) 263-7565 Email [email protected] of WebsiteDirectors www.kar.com Lamont Breland President 01/16 – 12/16 Louisville 502 - 741 - 1861 [email protected] Michael Becker President - elect 01/16 – 12/16 Villa Hills 859 - 380 - 5771 [email protected] Steve Cline Treasurer 01/16 – 12/16 Bowling Green 270 - 783 - 4515 [email protected] Rip Phillips Treasurer-elect 01/16 – 12/16 Louisville 502 - 459 - 5509 [email protected] Norman Jones Imm.

  • 2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’S Guide
    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential. Kentucky General Assembly Directory iii This publication has been prepared to help you better understand how your General Assembly conducts business during a legislative session.

We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government.
