Committees

We need your insights and expertise to help shape the future of our association and industry. Your involvement in our committees, advisory groups and forums ensures that we move forward with our mission to unite all facets of the industry as a leading advocate for real estate, driving REALTOR® business success and economic development of our communities.

Committee members are asked to volunteer in the fall for the following year; newly formed committees start in December or January. Leading the committees are Chairpersons and Vice Chairpersons. These members are interviewed by the Board President and President-elect and are approved by the Board of Directors prior to their 1-year term. The Vice Chairperson becomes the Chairperson the following year.

If you wish to join one of our many committees, please see the following committee list, including a brief description for each, and apply for the position(s) that best fits your area of expertise.
