Our Volunteer Committees
Volunteers help guide our national association’s work and ensure our REALTOR® members’ viewpoints and expertise remain at the heart of our decision-making.
How to Get Involved
Each spring, following CREA’s Annual General Meeting, CREA’s Executive Committee appoints more than 100 members of the REALTOR® community from across Canada to volunteer positions on our board and operational committees, as well as task forces as needed.
CREA members may apply to serve on any of the following committees, which act as resources to our Board of Directors and CEO on important topics. Click any committee name below to view its terms of reference and learn more about its purpose, responsibilities and membership criteria.
