NAR Candidate Training Academy in Huntsville

Posted on 03/10/2026

From the Closing Table to City Council: Huntsville Area Association of REALTORS® to Host Candidate Training Academy on April 29

The Huntsville Area Association of REALTORS® (HAAR) announced today that it will host the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Candidate Training Academy on Wednesday, April 29th. This intensive, one-day workshop is designed to prepare community members to run for local office and is open to the public.
As local government decisions increasingly impact property rights, housing affordability, and community development, HAAR is opening its doors to ensure that any resident considering public service has access to professional-grade campaign strategies. Presenters from the National Association of REALTORS® will travel to Huntsville to lead the session, which runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

"Strong communities are built on effective local leadership. While we’re currently blessed with ambitious and responsible local leaders – we want to look ahead and build a deep bench of future community champions."
