assing your real estate exam is just the first step in establishing your real estate career. Along with joining NAR and TAR you get to choose a local real estate board which becomes not only your home, but provides multiple opportunities to grow your business. At Williamson County Association of REALTORS we have numerous volunteer opportunities within our standing committees and task forces. Our standing committees consist of: Bylaws and Policy, Finance, Governmental Affairs, Membership, and TREPAC. Under Elaine Byrne, Bylaws and Policies will read through our manuals and make sure our organization is up to specific standards of operation. Finance under Shavonne Martin reviews budget requirements. Governmental Affairs and TREPAC Committees plan fundraising events, Hill Visits, and help spread the word about why they are so vital for us. Our Membership Committee under Leisa Ormsbee spearheads our luncheons and happy hours.
The task forces are appointed for a specific purpose. Our Events Committee under Tiesa Hollaway organizes activities such as our popular Superbowl of Builders, our East/ West Side Bus Tours, and the upcoming WC Wild Ride Scavenger Hunt. Our Golf Committee, chaired by Summer Pavliska, is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. But how does getting involved help your business? Networking with the committee members can open the door to new thoughts and ideas within the real estate realm. Meeting and working with affiliates at our functions help you grow your preferred vendor database.

Many volunteers use committee work as a springboard for moving to the board of directors.
