Texas REALTORS® could not serve you in all the ways that we do without the hard work and dedication of our volunteer leaders. We are so grateful to our members who share their time and expertise.

Summer is my favorite time of year. The weather is nice and clients have less stress with kids being on summer break. We get so focused on the busy real estate season, though, that it’s easy to overlook an important task that literally can change the way we all do business in the future.

Simply put, Texas REALTORS® needs you. Yes, you!

Each year, REALTORS® just like you step up to serve on committees the following year. We need your input to help ensure our association’s future success.

When reviewing applications, the Leadership Team works to create committees made up of diverse voices and experiences. We have a goal to get representation from every corner of Texas. So we need you to step up from Dalhart to Galveston and El Paso to Lufkin and everywhere in between. What happens in your local area helps shape our association’s initiatives.

We also look at your specialties and expertise. When you fill out your profile on 6717y.com (yes, we look at that info), be sure to add what you specialize in and any valuable experience you have. Do you know a lot about property management? What about commercial or ranch real estate? Do you own an insurance company, too? Knowing these things helps us put the right people on the right committees. This ensures those committees have meaningful dialogue and can fulfill the association’s strategic plan.

Make a difference in your industry

Choose among 24 committees covering a variety of real estate specialties. Volunteers will find out their 2025 committee positions in September and start serving in December.

While helping your fellow Texas REALTORS®, you also gain new insights, improve your business skills, and enjoy networking opportunities through volunteering.

Committee applications are open through June 28. Visit 6717y.com/countmein and apply today!

 

Bonus tip: When you complete or update your profile on 6717y.com, upload a current picture. We receive nearly 1,000 applications each year, so a current photo helps us remember if we’ve met you at a Texas REALTORS® meeting or recognize you at a future event.

You can apply for up to three committees, so put what you want most as your first option! We do our best to match everyone’s first choice, but it’s not always possible, so make sure you pick a second and third option, too.

Final tip: Tell your local association what you’re applying for. Local associations help by sending us a list of their members who want to get involved. (Local staff: please send details about all the people on your list, including how each member was involved at your local association. It helps us know about great local volunteers at your association who you think can make important contributions on state committees.)

Your Texas REALTORS® Leadership Team can guarantee two things about the committee application process: 1) If you apply for a committee, you will be placed on a committee for next year; 2) If you do not apply, we will not place you on a committee. It’s that simple!

Applications for 2025 Texas REALTORS® Committees are open through June 28. Go to 6717y.com/countmein and apply today!
