ABOUT SALT LAKE BOARD OF REALTORS®
COMMITTEES AND VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE

REALTOR® and Affiliate Members are encouraged to volunteer throughout the year to serve on one or more of the Board's many committees, which range from internal affairs to community service. The smooth and efficient running of the Board is accomplished by hours of volunteer service by many dedicated members. The experience offers an exceptional opportunity to network with other real estate professionals and make new friends. We invite you to give back to the industry and the community by volunteering your time.

There are approximately 250-300 committee assignments, but some committees are limited in size. Other committee appointments will be available if your first choice is closed. When a member receives an assignment, he or she is expected to donate the time and effort necessary for the success of that committee. Assignments are finalized at the end of each year.
