Committees & Councils

Committees are an important part of the High Point Regional Association of REALTORS for a number of reasons, including:

  • Committees allow HPRAR to accomplish more. By bringing together members with different skills and expertise, committees can tackle complex projects and initiatives that would be too difficult or time-consuming for a single person or staff member to handle.
  • Committees provide an opportunity for members to get involved in the association and to make a difference. Committee work is a great way for members to learn more about the association and its mission, to develop their skills and leadership abilities, and to network with other members.
  • Committees build a sense of community and engagement among members. Committee work can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for members, and it can help to create a stronger bond between members and the association.

Overall, committees are an essential part of HPRAR. By providing a way for members to get involved and to contribute their skills and expertise, committees help HPRAR to achieve its goals and to serve members more effectively.
