The East Valley Association of Realtors® is always looking for better ways to serve our Members, and our Affiliate Members. Whoever said, "Two Heads are Better than One", was absolutely correct.

We encourage and support all of our Committees. These Committees consist of and are organized by Members only. We provide the meeting rooms, either at our Corporate Office in Redlands, or one of our Satellite Offices in Yucaipa or Crestline.

There are many Committees that meet regularly, usually once or twice a month. They strive to keep you as a member updated on all things pertaining to Real Estate, such as Fair Housing Laws and Multiple Listing Service Rules and Regulations, as well as many other important issues that affect Realtors® and those involved in the Real Estate industry today.

We also strongly encourage participation in one or more of our committees, in order to have your voice heard. Whether you are already a Realtor®, or are thinking about becoming one, visit one of the meetings today and find out about issues that are affecting the Real Estate Industry, and how you can make a difference in your community, neighborhood, and even your state!

	The Grievance Committee reviews complaints alleging a violation of a membership, Code of Ethics or MLS duty to determine whether or not the complaint should be forwarded to the Professional Standards Committee for hearing.

	Bylaws are the rules that govern our Association. In the past, organizations had constitutions and bylaws but today bylaws are usually sufficient. The particular requirements for bylaws are set by the state in which the Association incorporates. As the Association grows and matures the bylaws committee should review bylaws and recommend changes to BOD for approval; have the associations attorney sign off on any revisions; put revisions to the membership for a vote. If bylaws aren’t upheld during a dispute, board members could be held libel for breaching their duty to the Association.

We do this in the hope they will exert a strong positive influence on the future of our Association. Seven REALTORS® will be selected through applications to the program each year to participate.
