RAGFL members received valuable time with their city leaders at RAGFL’s 8th Annual Meet Your Mayors Breakfast. The Friday, May 29th event, held at the Westin Cypress Creek in Fort Lauderdale, was another RAGFL hit with over 150 RAGFL members, guests and concerned citizens in attendance.

Over two dozen Broward County cities were represented by their city leaders. Participants were also greeted by special guest, new Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler who addressed the group for several minutes. The forum-style venue gave officials the opportunity to discuss new and current South Florida issues as well as field questions from audience members on the issues of most concern to them. Association members engaged in a valuable discourse with the local representatives for over two hours on a variety of issues including the quality of local schools, property tax reform, insurance relief and the new $8000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

“This event – running 8 years strong, was another priceless opportunity for our members and interested citizens to lobby together and discuss the issues that affect the people of South Florida,” said RAGFL CEO Richard W. Barkett. “RAGFL has been and will continue to remain fully committed to giving our members valuable and significant opportunities to remain engaged in the property tax reform debate and any other issues which affect the Realtor® community."

We thank everyone in attendance, especially our city officials. We would also like to extend a gracious thank you to iMapp, the event sponsor. iMapp - putting real estate on the map.
