Committee goals:
 
 
Goal #1:
Facilitate open communication between the AEC and other NAR committees whose goals and activities may impact REALTOR® association policies, procedures, and management operations.

Expected Outcome:
AEC liaisons to NAR committees serve as the communication link between the AEC and other NAR committees. Liaisons ensure that issues discussed in the respective committees have the benefit of the AE perspective and that the AEC is apprised of issues being considered during and between NAR meetings, including issues that surface through on-line discussions and at local, state, and regional meetings. AEC leadership engages in communication with NAR officers to ensure that all levels of the organization coordinate efforts to best serve the members.


Goal #2:
Coordinate efforts and offer input to AEC subcommittees that provide professional development and outreach programs, products, and resources to REALTOR® associations.

Expected Outcome:
REALTOR® association staff and volunteer leaders have access to the tools and resources they need to continue their professional growth, to strengthen their leadership partnerships, and to provide a higher level of service to the members.


Goal #3
To examine how the new, younger generation of members views the real estate business and the REALTOR® association, and determine what association programs and services this new breed of member will value.

Expected Outcome
An educational component/communication piece that will help REALTOR® association leaders better understand how they can deliver meaningful services to their members and what it will take to convince the new breed of members to get involved in association activities.


Goal #4
To reevaluate NAR's mandatory "Mediation Procedures to Resolve Alleged Violations of the Unacceptable Business Practices" and to determine whether a new or revised process should be implemented to help associations resolve their differences, if the process should remain as is, or if it should be eliminated.

Expected Outcome
If mediation remains an option for REALTOR® associations, then an effective process will be in place to facilitate resolution of disputes between REALTOR® associations, and there will be greater awareness of the standards of conduct to which all association staff and volunteer leaders can aspire.


Goal #5
To assist in the implementation of a new association-wide membership information collection and dissemination proposal.

Expected Outcome
In partnership with NAR leadership the AEC can assist with the communication, education, and policy compliance components of a new membership system.
