In this brief commentary, the speaker challenges the National Association of Realtors (NAR) CEO’s recent statement that internal opposition is a strength. The speaker argues that members who sought stronger action were instead sidelined, ignored, and left without any response from leadership, highlighting a disconnect between the proclaimed value of dissent and the organization’s actual treatment of dissenting voices.
Next up we have, well, this one's kind of personal to me. I'm just going to say it. There was a headline here that the CEO of NAR at the legislative meetings, which happened this past week, says there's opposition within and that's a strength. Really? What about the people who weren't really opposition but were inside the organization, just wanted it to be stronger and had something to say, but were cast out into the outer darkness? And can't get a phone call back from leadership. Oh, OK. Oh, wait, do I know that person? Oh, yeah. If it's a strength, just saying.
