At the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association (ORRA), we understand that the mission doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. That’s why we established the Military Advisory Council (MAC) — a vibrant community of REALTOR® professionals, veterans, military spouses, and patriotic allies committed to uplifting Central Florida’s military-connected population through real estate advocacy, education, and action.
Whether you’re a veteran transitioning into civilian life, a military spouse growing your career, or a REALTOR® passionate about giving back — MAC is your mission-forward home within ORRA.
To recognize, celebrate, and advocate for military-connected REALTORS® and their families through intentional education, impactful community outreach, and strategic partnerships. MAC champions veteran homeownership and honors military service while advancing legislative priorities that protect and empower those who’ve served.
MAC is more than a council — it’s a movement grounded in five core pillars:
Throughout the year, MAC hosts inspiring, hands-on events that serve both the industry and the community:
A high-impact gathering for veteran REALTORS®, brokers, and allies focused on connection, collaboration, and statewide influence.
Our annual backpack drive supporting military children with school supplies and community pride.
Equipping veterans and their families with tools for successful homeownership — from VA financing to budgeting and beyond.
