Committee Volunteer Sign-Ups
Serving on an Association committee can do many things – it can allow you to be a part of the decision-making process, it can acquaint you with changes in the law and it can involve you in educational opportunities available. Being involved gives you input into the structure and future of the Association and gives you the privilege of working with other Association members you may not know.
If you would like to serve on a Kentucky REALTORS® Committee, please contact the KYR office.
