The Bay East Board will consider a proposed amendment to the Association’s Bylaws that would reduce the size of the Board of Directors from 13 members to 12 and eliminate the Platinum Affiliate Director position, effective January 2027.

The Board regularly reviews membership representation to ensure appropriate governance within the ever-changing real estate industry. The proposed bylaws change envisions a smaller Board of Directors focused on REALTOR® and Multiple Listing Service policies and programs. It also recognizes that Platinum Affiliate membership has significantly declined since the Affiliate Director position was created. The Affiliates now make up about 2.3% of the total Bay East membership. 

 The valuable role the Platinum Affiliates have in the success of our members remains unchanged and will be supported through existing volunteer leadership, networking and partnership opportunities. 

In accordance with Bay East Bylaws, members are being provided advance notice prior to the Board’s intent to consider the bylaws change.

This year’s dues renewal reflects an increase in dues and fees consistent with the annual CPI for the Bay Area.
