RASCW Special Meeting - Bylaws Amendments

May 17, 2023 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Our Strategic Priorities call for our organization to increase diversity and member engagement. These proposed amendments to the bylaws create the opportunity for those changes.

  • Update Board Composition to create an organization focused on real time issues and increase the diversity of our leadership.

  • Increase member engagement in decisions by allowing electronic voting for governance changes.


FAQ

1. I noticed that the number of mandated positions on the board identified as Brokers and Agents is 1 each instead of two. Does that affect my representation on the Board?

No, positions that this change opens up will still be filled by Agents and Brokers, but the focus around their selection will change. At the same time that this recommendation was made, the Board approved this change to our nominating process. Instead of only selecting based on office size, the board will be able to consider competency and diversity based candidates.

Nominations. The Nominating Committee has an important role in ensuring that the Board of Directors reflects the diversity that is represented in our membership. The Nominating Committee shall review the applicants with a goal of creating balance ensuring the criteria provided in the Bylaws is met, while keeping in mind guidance provided from the Board of Directors for all positions.

  • Protected classes as defined by NAR:
    • race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity
  • Business Practice
  • Background or Expertise
  • Tenure in Real Estate Practice
  • Other, as defined by the Board.

 


2. What if a suitable candidate can't be found as the Policy and Board requested, how will we fill the position?


The Nominating Committee is empowered with the ability to make recommendations to the board based on their interviews and expertise. If they believe a candidate would excel at the position, they simply are asked to explain why.


The Nominating Committee will provide a report with the nominees explaining how each fulfills the requirements outlined in the Bylaws and/or the guidance provided by the Board of Directors. In the case where a request from the Board of Directors cannot be achieved, the Nominating Committee is permitted to resolve the request to the best of their ability. 


3. Since there are only 9 mandated positions, but 13 on the Board, can this result in more affiliate member positions, taking away representation from REALTORS?


No. The Bylaws that there shall be just two association affiliate members elected for staggered three-year terms. 


4. Could these changes cause over-representation or under-representation of agents whose primary business is outside of Dane County?


There has been no change to the requirements for agents practicing outside of Dane County. Now and in the future, an agent could qualify as an Broker in a Large office AND practice outside of Dane County. Each year the Board and Nominating Committee work tirelessly to ensure there is balance.
