How Do Committees Work?
Every committee has a staff liaison who helps organize and plan committee meetings and activities. Each committee also has REALTOR® members who act as Chair and a Vice-Chair and help oversee the committee. The meeting days, times, frequency and location for each committee are determined by the staff liaisons at the start of each year. Some committees have additional activities that happen outside of the regular meeting times.
Can anyone serve as a Chair or Vice-Chair of a Committee?
Yes! Chairs and Vice-Chairs are members who have been involved with a committee and have shown commitment and a willingness to lead and learn. If you are interested in these positions, let your staff liaison know!
Please reach out to Sara Hamill at sara@greaternashvillerealtors.org if you have any additional questions.
