The major decisions happening in our industry are influenced by leaders who step up to the plate. Our Association and MLS benefit from having our members at the helm, directly influencing the policies that affect Central Texas REALTORS®’ businesses through their contributions. It matters to have a voice at the table and we need strong and diverse leadership to discuss important local issues such as homelessness, changes to the MLS, and housing affordability, as well as state and national issues that shape our industry.
We want to celebrate the ABoR members who represent us at National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), and Texas REALTORS® —as well as our staff who are serving on multiple committees and boards. Take a look at where your network is leading on behalf of your business.
