NAR strives to ensure that its committees reflect the composition of the general membership. Serving on a committee is a great way to contribute to NAR’s decision-making process. Committees are a forum for new ideas, discussions, and debates.

Those who apply must include endorsements (three maximum) from colleagues who have served in leadership roles or association staff at the state or local level. Committee selections will be announced on Sept. 30, 2020. Review the committee selection timeline for important dates, and review the FAQ page for more insight into NAR’s committee appointment process.
