Pride in Practice

Looking for an engaging, educational, fun afternoon? Join us on June 11, 2024 for the 2024 Pride in Practice event. The event will take place at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. This event is dedicated to advancing the association’s and its members’ efforts to engage and educate our diverse membership in the world of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

This year’s program is designed to educate and elevate the high standards of professional conduct with all members by raising awareness of the issues faced by LGBTQ+ homebuyers and renters. Interactive sessions include:

  • The Town Hall Experience – Work with others to test your real estate knowledge by developing solutions to real-life scenarios then compare your answers with a panel of experts.
  • Bias Override – Learn about the mind science of identity, study how implicit bias can result in fair housing violations and engage in interactive exercises to enhance communication skills and business relationships with clients of all backgrounds, and earn continuing education credits.

In addition to the educational opportunities, we hope you will take advantage of the amazing museum space. Plan to join us for an exclusive networking event, featuring DE-Ice Cream!, with lots of photo opportunities in the Visionary Village.

Register today and take advantage of the program, networking opportunities, continuing education classes, and more!

Registration for this event is now closed. Thank you for your interest!
