Mission
The mission of the Leadership Development and Awards Advisory Group is to encourage volunteer leadership within the Association and to ensure that qualified NVAR members and programs are recognized as recipients for local, state, and national awards. This group solicits nominations and applications to guarantee the most qualified candidates are being recognized for awards.

The Advisory Group casts a wide net and encourages members from a variety of business backgrounds (levels of experience, brokerage companies, areas of expertise, etc.) to get involved with NVAR and to apply for awards.

NVAR recommends comprehensive zoning changes and incentives that facilitate the voluntary market-driven production of a wide range of housing choices at all price levels to suit our diverse population, including encouraging mixed-use development.
It is essential that comprehensive plans provide for the development of owner-occupied housing, to meet existing and forecasted housing demand without unreasonable zoning and land use restrictions that lead to increased costs for housing. Updating zoning ordinances and maps to encourage mixed use with higher residential density in existing commercial areas can provide new home ownership opportunities without affecting existing residential neighborhoods.
