WARWICK, RI – David Salvatore of Providence has been named government affairs director for the Rhode Island Association of Realtors. His primary responsibilities will involve the Association’s outreach efforts concerning legislative and regulatory initiatives with potential impact on real estate and housing.

His experience will help us promote a legislative environment in which a strong housing market provides opportunities for all Rhode Islanders.
