GET INVOLVED!  Join a Committee!

 

Being a PSAR volunteer will give you the opportunity to work with influential and intelligent industry and community leaders. As a member of the Board, you will be the face of the organization and a leader in the industry in the eyes of the public. Expand your network, grow your professional stature, and influence initiatives that empower Realtors® and resonate with you, challenge yourself intellectually and make yourself better at YOUR job.

The success of any association ultimately depends upon the contributions of its members. Serving on a committee furthers your professional development by providing leadership experience, expanding your professional network, and strengthening your ties within the industry.  The Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS® relies upon the dedication and service of our REALTOR® and Affiliate members. By participating on a committee, each member helps to guide the Association by recommending improvements and overseeing programs and expenditures. Ideas that are discussed at the committee level become motions, which are then brought to either PSAR’s Committee Councils or the Board of Directors for consideration.
