NJAR^® SUPPORTS THE NEW JERSEY NETWORK

(Edison, NJ) This year the New Jersey Association of REALTORS^® (NJAR^®) is celebrating seven years of support for the New Jersey Network (NJN) as a sponsor of its quality programming and nightly news. This spring, NJN viewers will see a 30-second spot of 2009 NJAR^® President Diane Dilzell discussing the important role of REALTORS^® in helping New Jerseyans achieve the American dream. An additional 30-second spot highlighting NJAR^®'s legislative advocacy efforts will air during NJN's news and public affairs programming.

"NJAR^® is proud to continue our longstanding partnership with NJN, as it allows us the opportunity to share our message with New Jersey citizens and legislative officials," said Dilzell. "REALTORS^® are trusted advisors, as well as dedicated members of the communities where we live and work."

As an advocate for private property rights and the REALTORS^® of New Jersey, NJAR^® remains active in Trenton and locally to protect the rights of New Jersey home and business owners. Through the sponsorship of NJN's public affairs programming, NJAR^®'s legislative advocacy message is conveyed during coverage of widespread events such as the primary and general elections and the governor's addresses.

The message from President Dilzell premiered in February and will air during primetime weeknight and weekend afternoon programming throughout April and May. The fall schedule will include the NJAR^® message beginning in mid-September and running through the end of October. Look for it during such programs as "This Old House," "Antiques Roadshow" and "Lidia's Italy."
