Apply for a 2023 Committee

It’s that time of year again—committee applications are open! If you’re reading this and not quite sure what I’m talking about, let me explain. New Jersey Realtors® is governed by a set of 22 committees made up of volunteers from around the state. These committees help shape decisions on everything from education to government affairs. Each committee usually meets a few times a year and, since 2020, a majority of those meetings have been virtual so it’s easier to fit into your schedule.

If you’re still not quite sold, here are 7 reasons you should apply for a 2023 NJ Realtors® Committee:

1. There’s something for everyone. Maybe real estate is your second career and you have 10 years experience in another field—bring that expertise to the table.

2. Have a hand in decision-making. Committees make real, applicable decisions to an organization you belong you.

3. Learn something new. Lack of experience in a field doesn’t preclude you from applying and a committee is a great way to learn from your peers about a specific facet of the business.

4. Earn a NJ Realtors® Circle of Excellence industry unit for 2023. Serving on a committee earns you one industry unit for the year you serve. Better to have and not need than need and not have.

5. Network with Realtors® from around the state. You might know all your local fellow Realtors®, but since committees are made up from all 21 counties, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and network with professionals from all around New Jersey.

6. Experience is beneficial for future leadership. Thinking about a leadership role in the future? A committee is the place to start.

7. Share your local experience. A benefit of this volunteer position is the ability to have your voice heard from your local area in a statewide setting and bring the issues that matter to you to a central forum.
