February GAAR Update: Moving From Vision to Action

In his February update, Chris Venegas, 2026 President of the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®, continued to build on the momentum he established in January, keeping members informed about strategic priorities and member-focused activities.

Venegas touched on ways GAAR continues to provide value through leadership and clarity. This includes ongoing efforts to strengthen support and resources for members, making sure communication lines are open and that brokers have the tools needed to navigate the changing market with confidence.

A highlight for the month was the introduction of presidential advisory groups aimed at tackling key challenges and opportunities facing the association. These groups are structured to provide focused input on enhancing member value and refining strategic direction — a practical way to make sure the association’s big picture vision gets grounded in everyday member needs.

He also encouraged members to engage with upcoming events and initiatives — from legislative advocacy to professional development — a reminder that GAAR thrives when its community actively participates and contributes their voice.

Venegas wrapped up with a clear message: GAAR is not just planning for the future, it’s acting on it — with purpose and with member success in mind.
