AREAA Houston Chapter

🇺🇸 Your Voice Matters in Washington, DC 🇺🇸

This May 11-12, leaders from across the country will gather in Washington, DC for the AREAA Policy Summit — where real estate professionals, policymakers, and community advocates come together to discuss the future of housing and homeownership.

Housing affordability, fair housing, access to financing, and sustainable homeownership impact every generation and every community. As Asian American and Pacific Islander professionals, it is important that our voices are represented at the table and heard in the conversations shaping our future.

This is more than a conference.
This is leadership.
This is advocacy.
This is collaboration.

Proudly, 9 members from AREAA Houston Chapter will represent the Houston chapter this year in Washington, DC. We are honored to bring Houston’s voice to the national conversation and advocate for stronger communities and greater opportunities for future homeowners.

One of the greatest values of AREAA is the collaboration and relationships built across 45+ chapters nationwide. Together, we learn, support each other, and create impact beyond real estate transactions.

Your voice belongs in the room.
Representation matters.
Stronger together. 🤝🏡

Hear from AREAA’s (s)heroes. Fearless women who fight for our community to impact change. Learn from herstory of courage as she faces her own individual fears boldly (and sometimes quietly),but never gives up the mission of AREAA in the work she does in and outside of the organization. A true catalyst, (s)heroes are not afraid to be afraid. SHEroes are not defined by what they survived rather they are defined by what they built after.
