A task force comprised of members from both associations has led this endeavor with the objective of enhancing member benefits, bolstering our regional representation, and strengthening our ability to serve both the real estate market and our communities effectively. The culmination of these efforts was a vote on May 16 of both the GFWAR and ARBOR Boards of Directors to move forward in unifying our associations into one.
This is just the start of an exciting journey. We've pinpointed three core services—Advocacy, Professionalism, and Community Engagement—to steer our efforts. These will set our priorities and highlight the value we offer to our members, consumers, and communities.
Your participation and feedback are crucial as we move forward. We're dedicated to keeping you informed every step of the way and value your input in shaping the future of our association.
