Advocacy
The Maine Real Estate & Development Association (MEREDA) promotes responsible development and ownership of real estate throughout the state. It achieves this through legislative advocacy, regulatory oversight, programs, conferences, and by representing real estate and economic development interests.
Members can access detailed information in the Members-Only Section of the site.
Share Your Voice: Submit Testimony on Key Bills and Shape the Future!
MEREDA encourages its members to submit testimony on any legislative document of interest. To help with this, below we have provided instructions on how to Submit Testimony for a Public Hearing, and will provide templates during the legislative session to help with Testimony in Support of specific bills. We hope you find these resources helpful.
