2025-2026 Volunteer Committees Announced
Meet the talented, diverse leaders who will be serving CREA this year.
Comprised of REALTORS® and senior board/association staff from diverse backgrounds and parts of the country, the Canadian Real Estate Association’s (CREA) volunteer committees are what keep our ideas fresh and our progress steady.
While CREA’s committees serve as invaluable resources to our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), they also help showcase REALTOR® value, enhance professionalism and move the industry forward. Earlier this year, CREA invited interested REALTORS® and board or association staff to apply for a position on one of these committees.
Now, we know who those invaluable contributors will be. Here’s an overview of the 2025/2026 volunteer committees.

As of April 2025, the Technology Committee was discontinued. In its place, a REALTOR® Advisory Committee will serve as an advisory body to ensure REALTOR.ca’s business strategies, policies, and product offerings align with the needs of REALTOR® members, their clients, and the real estate industry at large.
The members of this new committee will be announced in the coming weeks.
We look forward to welcoming all members of the volunteer committees for the upcoming year and to hearing from them on important topics of every variety.
