PURPOSE

The purpose of the Advisory Group is to assist the RCMLS BOD by doing numerous tasks and assignments to minimize the time and efforts of the monthly RCMLS BOD meetings.  It is an ad hoc task force that becomes the workhorse for the RCMLS BOD.  All guts, no glory.  No power of decision-making.  It is a group that brings continuity and history to the efforts and needs for studies, research, and reports to the RCMLS BOD on items much like our local government Planning Commissions. (Amended 04.26.21)

 

MEMBERSHIP and QUALIFICATIONS

The membership of the Advisory Group was designed to consist of a blending of experienced Realtors (15+ years) that know the history of former RCMLS Boards, a few more agents with moderate years of experience (10 – 15 years), and those newer agents (2 – 5 years).  There is no minimum or a maximum number of members.  Annual commitment renewals are required by current members.  The Association Executive and MLS Coordinator will serve as Ex-Officio members.  The MLS President and MLS Past-President will also serve with the MLS Past-President serving as chairperson.

 

APPOINTMENTS

New members are selected annually by application, depending upon upcoming task assignment needs, usually in the fall in conjunction with the October elections.  Recommendations are made by the current Advisory Council/Task Force with the approval of the RCMLS BOD.  There are no time limits of service on the Advisory Group in hopes of bringing continuity to the direction and focus of the Advisory Group and future BODs.  In the event the RCMLS Past-President cannot serve as chairperson, the Advisory Group will recommend a replacement for approval by the RCMLS BOD.

ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON AUGUST 15TH ANNUALLY TO BE CONSIDERED.
