Get Involved in the State Association

REALTOR® input and involvement are key to the functions and success of the association. Having practitioners with industry knowledge who lend their expertise helps us with our commitment to moving the industry and the association forward. Committees, workgroups, and taskforces are mission and project focused and tend to meet virtually or on an as-needed basis in person. Some workgroups are charged with a specific plan of work or outcome. Volunteer contributions are valuable and we encourage you to select a division that aligns with your interests and areas of expertise.

Find out which division is right for you:

Commercial

This division serves as the voice of commercial real estate and helps identify key issues, trends and education opportunities. LR also proudly serves as the administrative arm and support for IREM.


Specific programs supported by Louisiana REALTORS® include events for affiliate organizations such as CCIM, IREM, SIOR and RLI; sponsorship of economic and commercial development forums hosted by local Commercial Investment Divisions (CID); providing commercial continuing education opportunities; and gathering commercial input on any legislative issues impacting commercial real estate in Louisiana.

Legislative

This committee works with Association lobbying and legal teams to provide feedback on proposed legislation and laws that may impact the real estate industry and profession as well as private property rights in Louisiana. 


Members also carry out the important “act” function of the REALTOR® Party by rallying REALTOR® members to take action on key legislative issues and important governmental developments affecting the real estate industry and profession. 

Each member of this committee must serve on at least one of five Legislative subcommittees detailed below and may serve on more than one subcommittee. 


The use of subcommittees serves two purposes: (1) Members and affiliates are called upon to provide input on legislation and matters within their respective real estate practice areas, and (2) The time of members and affiliates is efficiently utilized to impact legislation within their respective real estate practice areas.

      The Legislative Committee is made up of five subcommittees:  


      • Residential 

      • Commercial 

      • Property Management

      • Appraisal 

      • Legal/Risk Management


      In 2024, there will also be a special subcommittee on Insurance as this will be a top priority for Louisiana REALTORS® in the 2024 Louisiana Legislative Session.


      Members of the subcommittees may be asked to provide input on proposed legislation or to testify before the Louisiana Legislature.  The subcommittees also monitor the activities of regulatory agencies within their respective areas.  The Legal/Risk Management Subcommittee additionally works with the Association to identify subjects for LR provided articles, webinars, and other resources on legislative or legal topics. 


      Subcommittee meetings may occur throughout the year by Zoom and/or conference calls.  These meetings may be held outside business hours and/or upon short notice given the quick pace of legislative sessions.

    Marketing & Member Services

    This division is responsible for providing input on the overall public relations efforts and serves as ambassadors of the Association's services and benefits. They help LR maintain a high level of communication between local associations and individual members.

    Professional Development

    This division works to provide input and identify areas which help further the education and success of real estate practioners. The areas of focus include identifying high value education opportunities beyond the minimum continuing education standards.

    Professional Conduct

    This division is made up of the following four committees: Grievance, Professional Standards, Mediation, and Ombudsman.  Annual training is required to serve  on these committees.

    

    Collectively the division is responsible for facilitating processes necessary to uphold the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and Professional Standards for members in accordance with what is required by NAR. Members of the appropriate committees also provide mediation, arbitration, and ombudsman services as requested. 

    • Read More

      Members of these committees are on-call on an as-needed basis to participate in various stages of the professional standards process in matters that reach the state association and to provide mediation, arbitration, and ombudsman services as requested of the state association.


      Committee members should be mature, experienced, knowledgeable persons of judicial temperament. It is suggested that, to the extent practical, members of these committees not serve simultaneously on the Louisiana REALTORS® Board of Directors to avoid conflict with the prohibition of serving on more than one tribunal in the same matter.
