Considering a Dues Increase in 2023? Follow the Process
Networks considering a dues increase next year must follow National processes to ensure proper dues billing. National must be formally advised by September 30 for the subsequent year on new dues amounts along with supporting documentation. This form must be filled out and can also be found in the online network glossary.
Interested in Forming a New Network?
Women’s Council has chartered a record number of networks this year. Any new charter being considered must have 1,000 Realtors® in the proposed area and must not compete with existing networks. Staff has a guide available upon request and must be involved in the charter process. Charter questions are to be directed to Jamie Saltman, jsaltman@wcr.org.
