HANFRA                    2007 Committee List

 Serving on one of our committees -

 

Every year we are fortunate to have a group of dedicated professionals who are willing to serve on one or more of our committees. These committees provide the strength and life blood of our organization, and your participation will give you a better understanding of the real estate profession. Two committees required specialized training prior to being able to serve on them (Grievance and Professional Standards). If interested, such training is available through HANFRA . All other committees are open and available to every member. If interested, you can contact the Executive Officer any time during the course of the year. Appointment to the committee is recommended by the President and approved by the Board of Directors.
