About Our Committees

Member participation is vital to the mission of RSCK. Our members contribute a diverse range of skills and experiences to the daily operations of RSCK by serving on various committees.

  • Eligibility: Committee membership is exclusively available to RSCK members.
  • Formation: Each year, committees are established under the newly elected RSCK leadership.
  • Solicitation: During this time, we actively seek members to join committees; however, it may also be possible to join some committees outside the designated solicitation period.

Your interest in participating in an RSCK committee is always appreciated. New members joining RSCK throughout the year are encouraged to consider serving on a committee.


Committee FAQs

Why serve on a committee? 

Committees help shape the direction of our Association and its policies. If you want your voice to be heard and want to contribute to the decision-making process, our committees are a great forum for debate and discussion. Experience in committees is beneficial for those interested in seeking future leadership roles.

 

What are the benefits of volunteering?

Association involvement establishes that you care about your profession and your community. Serving on a committee is a great way to enhance your professional growth and provide service to your peers. Research shows that members who are involved in association committees are: better informed, better networked, and better prepared to act on trends and regulations impacting their business.

 

When do they meet?

Most committee meetings take place monthly, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm and are generally held at RSCK. Meeting times typically remain the same year after year, unless members of a committee vote otherwise during their first meeting of the year.

 

Attendance Policy

Absence from more than three (3) regularly scheduled meetings within a committee year (January 1 through December 31) is considered a resignation from the committee. If this occurs, the member may petition to be reinstated during the next committee meeting. The other committee members will then vote to allow or deny this request.

 

Committee Appointment

Committee appointments begin on January 1st and end on December 31st, with most committees having a term of either one or two years (see below). 

Please note when applying:

  • Committees may have a limited number of available appointments.
  • The Professional Standards Committee and Grievance Committee require specific experience.
  • Business Partner Members are welcome to complete a volunteer profile to be matched with Task Force opportunities throughout the year.
  • Members can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms on a committee. If you have completed two consecutive terms, please consider applying for a different committee.
  • If you are currently serving on a committee and would like to volunteer again for the same committee, you may reapply by completing the committee volunteer application form below. Please note that new committee members with take priority, to ensure fairness.

 

Timeline & Process of Committee Volunteer Submission & Selection

  • Our Committees & Their Meeting Schedules

    The existing meeting schedules may be modified based on a committee vote in January 2027.



    Standard Forms Committee (2-year term) Evaluate and suggest changes to the Board of Directors for approval to keep contracts, addendums, and forms used in conducting real estate transactions current. Utilizing verbiage that is clear and concise for easy interpretation by clients and creates balanced forms that are fair for all parties. Consider member requests and review forms with review/revision dates older than 3 years. Maintain legal counsel approval on all forms.


    Current Meeting Schedule: Second Tuesday of the month, 2:00 pm


    • Grievance Committee (3-year term) Receives ethics complaints and arbitration requests to determine if, taken as true on their face, a hearing is to be warranted. The Grievance Committee makes only such preliminary evaluation as is necessary to make these decisions. While the Grievance Committee has meetings, it does not hold hearings, does not decide whether members have violated the Code of Ethics, and does not dismiss ethics complaints because of lack of evidence. Prerequisite: Must have been a REALTOR® for one full year prior to the term starting. Requirement: Attendance of an annual training session.

    Current Meeting Schedule: First Wednesday of the month, 9-10 am (meetings will be cancelled if there are no complaints to consider)


    • Professional Standards Committee (3-year term) Committee members serve on Hearing Panels as required to hear matters of alleged unethical conduct by the Association’s members or to provide arbitration as requested. The Professional Standards Committee is like a court, in that they adjudicate matters that come before them. The Professional Standards Committee makes decisions on matters involving the Code of Ethics or disputes generally involving commissions and compensation. Prerequisite: Service of one term on the Grievance Committee. Requirement: Attendance of an annual training session.

    Current Meeting Schedule: No regular meetings, members will be requested for hearing panels only

Note on 2027 Committees:

In an effort to create volunteer opportunities that respect our members' very valuable and limited time, several committees are being eliminated and replaced by Task Forces. By creating purpose and outcome-driven task forces with defined end dates, limited meetings, and specific focus tied to the strategic plan, we can confidently say to returning and new volunteers: "We respect your time, talent, and expertise, and our promise is that we will not waste it." Committees being transitioned to task forces at the end of 2026 are Community Involvement Committee (CIC) and Your Professional Network (YPN). Government Affairs Committee (GAC) and Professional Development Committee (PDC) will be evaluated in 2027 to align their work with the Board of Directors' strategic plan priorities, and therefore we will not be accepting applications for those committees this year.


Volunteering with the association is not going away, and we hope that you don't either. We are still evaluating 2027 strategic plan priorities and the task forces needed to complete them, but we want to assure you that there will be many opportunities to share your time, talent and expertise on the issues that matter most to you. Are you ready to start serving on a task force? Instead of the typical committee applications open July-August, we will accept volunteer profiles year-round (exceptions being Forms, Professional Standards, and Grievance). The profiles will be used to determine volunteer interests, skills, and willingness to volunteer. Fill out your volunteer profile below!


Should you have any questions about these changes, please direct them to Wendy Carter, 2026 Board President, or Gentry Thiesen, RSCK Director of Operations.
