R-BAR Committees
Have Your Voice Heard! Join a R-BAR Committee or Task Force!
R-BAR committee volunteers are invaluable to the future of the association. Ever wonder why the association does or doesn't do something, how R-BAR planned a certain event, or who was involved in a decision? R-BAR is led by its members. Committees put forth recommendations to the Board of Directors throughout the year. Committees plan association events, coordinate community outreach initiatives, weigh in on member benefits, vet policies and oversee government relations. Committee members work together and dedicate their time for the greater good of the association and it's membership, the communities we serve and the real estate industry in general. Serving on a committee or task force is a great way to build relations with more REALTORS® and affiliated business members. There are many opportunities for involvement here at R-BAR. Opportunities for new members, veteran members, those able to commit to a long-range, comprehensive mission, or those who are focused on one specific event or task. We welcome you to explore any committee(s) or task force you may be interested in. Become an influential voice in the direction of the association by joining a committee or task force today!
