Get Involved: Make an Impact by Joining One of MJAR’s Committees
One of the best ways to reap the benefits of Mid Jersey Association of REALTORS® (MJAR) membership is through volunteering. MJAR offers many opportunities to try new roles in a supportive environment where you can develop new skills and confidence and give back to the industry by making a difference in committee involvement. In addition, you will build lasting relationships with like-minded peers who can help you grow personally and professionally. As a committee member, you will help us plan programs, events, and outreach activities, based on what’s happening in our local counties and the current market.
Browse the committee and task group list below to learn about each available workgroup. If you are interested, please apply to serve on a committee by filling out the application here. Submit the completed application to info@core-realtors.com.
Current committee members who wish to stay in that workgroup should reapply. Note – workgroups are planned to meet virtually in 2024, with the potential for in-person meetings at either of the MJAR offices.
