H.R. No. 2182 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The celebration of the 70th anniversary of the | ||
Arlington Board of Realtors in 2019 provides a fitting opportunity | ||
to pay tribute to this noteworthy organization; and | ||
WHEREAS, Realtors in the United States adopted a code of | ||
ethics in 1913, and this code became mandatory for Realtor | ||
membership in 1924; in the fall of 1948, a group of real estate | ||
brokers in Arlington came together to promote professionalism in | ||
their industry, and the Arlington Board of Realtors was founded on | ||
January 20, 1949, with six members; as the organization grew, | ||
meetings were held every Friday at lunch, and speakers were invited | ||
to share their experiences; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, ARBOR is one of the largest trade | ||
associations in the nation; originally representing Tarrant | ||
County, the association added 400 new Realtors from Ellis and Hill | ||
Counties in 2016, and it currently boasts a membership of more than | ||
2,900 across all three counties; the association moved into a new | ||
10,000-square-foot facility in 2007, and in 2017, a center for | ||
member services and training was opened in Waxahachie; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dedicated to supporting professionals in the real | ||
estate industry by providing resources, programs, and services, by | ||
promoting a positive image in the community, and by representing | ||
members' interests through advocacy, the Arlington Board of | ||
Realtors has played an important role in the vitality and | ||
prosperity of North Texas; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 70th anniversary of the | ||
Arlington Board of Realtors and extend to its members sincere best | ||
wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for ARBOR as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
