Join a Committee
Get Involved
Joining a committee is an excellent opportunity to expand your professional network, stay informed about the latest industry trends, and influence the future direction of our Association. Every year, over one hundred REALTORS® and Platinum Affiliates actively engage in Bay East committees. Members can apply to serve on one or more committees that align with their interests. While some committees have specific membership requirements, others may have waiting lists due to high demand.
Affiliate Committee
The goal is to raise awareness of the Affiliate role within the Association, strengthen relationships between Affiliates and REALTORS®, and promote professionalism. This involves expanding networking and leadership opportunities for Platinum Affiliates, promoting their vision, attracting and retaining members by showcasing benefits, and encouraging community engagement.
