To ensure governance excellence and continuous improvement at CREB^®, the Board of Directors has accepted the Governance Standing Committee (GSC) recommendation to amend 1.1.3 Board Nomination, Election & Succession policy, creating a required milestone for the board to approve the Chair to serve for a second year.

We are thrilled to announce the development of CREB^® Chat, our innovative new chat platform for CREB^®Link. As we build this tool, we would like to offer you the opportunity to be a part of this exciting journey by becoming a beta tester.

After the recent by-election, CREB^®’s Board Development and Leadership Standing Committee (BDLSC) conducted a comprehensive review. Recognizing the importance of transparent governance and member engagement, the committee saw an opportunity to shed light on its purpose and highlight the requirements for serving on the board.

Please note that CREB^® will be closed for Victoria Day on Monday, May 22.

Our industry is constantly evolving, so it's crucial that we recruit a strong mix of talent to successfully take CREB^® into the future. 

The results are in, and CREB^®’s ninth board of directors member has been decided by the membership!

At the AGM on April 20, 2023, a member suggested that a legal proceeding she was involved in with the REALTORS^® Association of Edmonton a few years ago was relevant to CREB^®’s decision not to place a motion from a member on the AGM agenda.

Julia St Louis was the recipient of CREB^®’s Karen Gammie Graduate Scholarship in 2023.

If you plan to show properties that are accessible only by a non-SentriLock lockbox, then it’s your responsibility to have the necessary tools in place to facilitate property access. 

In last week’s CREB^® Chat, I discussed how our bylaws establish the Board of Directors' role as the organization's stewards on behalf of its members.
