Our members have spoken! Now that the voting window has officially closed, the results show overwhelming member support in FAVOR of our proposed governance changes. These changes will help us modernize our state association, increase our efficiency, AND put our members in the driver’s seat.

Here’s the breakdown of the results:

• “Yes”: 3,848 votes
• “No”: 354 votes

In total, 11.4% of our membership voted. Virginia REALTORS® thanks EACH of our members who took the time to weigh in and make their voice heard.

Here’s a recap of what these changes will look like:

• YOU will now directly elect the association’s Board of Directors (BOD).
• The minimum size of the Virginia REALTORS® Board will be reduced.
• The BOD will have the authority to update bylaws, versus an un-elected group.
• Members will now be allowed to cast votes online.

Be on the lookout for more updates as we continue our mission of shaping the future of real estate.
