Betty,

I will answer on the HMLS Board commitment if that is the one you were asking about. Seats will be for 3 year terms and the Board is scheduled for 6-8 meetings per calendar year with the ability to meet more often and for special meetings if and when needed. We always request our Board members to attend industry events, however, those are not mandatory but gives a great opportunity to meet and talk to other agents and brokers about industry happenings. If you have any further questions please let me know. Contact me here: https://kcrar.com/contact-staff/?staff_email=RobW@heartlandmls.com

Roles & Responsibilities for KCRAR Directors
The Board of Directors is comprised of active KCRAR members and forms one voice, which governs the Associations in accordance with the Bylaws. A Director serves as an essential component of the main decision making body of the Association. The primary duty of a Director is to meet with the Officers and other Directors to approve, establish, prioritize, and evaluate the programs and services of the Association to be sure that they serve the mission of the Association. While a Director will not be involved in the day-to-day administrative details and operations, he/she should be sufficiently informed to represent the members in ensuring the continuity of the Association by planning for the future, establishing and reviewing major policies and programs and making sure the organization is fiscally sound.
